...wounded Akhlaq's close friend and student Anwar Saeed, visiting at the time. Saeed's robust, homoerotic work shares his mentor's primordial vision. In swaths of deep blues and thick yellows reminiscent of Chughtai's watercolors, which themselves echo the primal Fauvism of Henri Rousseau, Saeed paints a semiclad man surreally clutching a large fish (The Principle of Delicacy).
