Real professional art critics write for leading newspapers, compared to Pakistan, where role of art critics is not based on any merit, but just influences of certain people over other. We call it here “Sifarishi tattus”. Here we give references to an article at the World of Islam Festival in London by Dr James Dickie in 1976, a graduate from universities in art criticism and Islamic history, and gave his professional opinion about the Pakistan artist Chughtai. Our pleasure to list him. Although present whereabouts of Dr James Dickie is not known.

\u201cThe\u00a0<\/strong>third response was the way of the Pakistan artist Chughtai, who experienced at first hand all the West had to offer and assimilated some of it. Chughtai career is proof of Islam\u2019s continued vitality. In some respects he excels Bihzad, the Rembrandt of Islamic art. Before Chughtai, Islamic painting had never developed beyond the anecdotal and the episodic, whereas\u00a0\u00a0by Chughtai\u2019s brush it became interpretative. Until the emergence of Chughtai, painting had occupied the status of a minor art in Islam\u2026.but now as an interpretative art it bid fair to challenge the Christian and the Buddhist civilization. \u201c (The Times, London 1976)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
