He is one of the foremost artists from Bangladesh and a student of Zainul Abedin. He naturally drew inspiration from his own surroundings. His first duo show was held in 1961 followed by 17 solo exhibitions and 37 group exhibitions in Pakistan, Bangladesh and different countries of the world. Out of his 54 painting exhibitions, only 14 took place in Bangladesh. He received awards at the Annual Exhibition of Paintings by Karachi Artists, Arts Council, Karachi, Pakistan in 1963, 1964 and 1967. Azim died at Dhaka, when he was at the peak of his artistic career. After his death, two exhibitions of his works were held at Dhaka Club (1976) & Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (1998). The saving grace is that many proud collectors are carefully preserving his works. The Bangladesh Government holding a world class painting of a renowned Artist as symbol of honor at Sonali Bank Branch in London, UK & one of his masterpiece in the Bangladesh National Museum. On 20 February 2012, Azim was posthumously awarded the most honorable National Award (Ekushe Padak) by the government of Bangladesh for his contribution in the field of Fine Arts & his involvement through his paintings during the Language Movement in 1952. Early life and educationAzim born in 24 November 1934 at Bikrampur. He was very gifted, super talented & most creative person. He graduated in fine arts from Bangladesh College of Arts & Crafts (at present Faculty of Fine Arts, Dhaka University) in 1955. Azim who became an artist much against the will of his parents, once spent some months in a sweepers colony to absorb the atmosphere of the place before painting it. Unlike many other artists in the city he has chosen to avoid the corruption of commercial art by not joining any of the advertising firms & instead choosing to teach art. Azim was trying to establish an individual style of painting. He was an artist with multiple techniques. He not only used the brush & the palette knife to paint but also his finger. He was a total experimenter. He not only loved to employ different techniques but also a variety of materials on his canvases, including sand, cement, cloth, nylon net & jute. In some exhibition he had tried to used jute canvases in place of cloth canvases for few of his paintings. He daubs paint with a piece of cloth & in his remarkably successful white "Cobweb" he had tried yet another technique which was supposed to be a secret. Language MovementIn 1952, Azim was involved in the Bengali Language Movement of East Pakistan. At that time, he was a second year student at the Dacca Art College (at present Faculty of Fine arts, University of Dhaka). Probably, bangladeshi are the only nation in the world, who faught to protect their mother language. The exact number of death in the Language Movement & especially on the day of 21 February 1952, has never been recovered. The bodies of those killed were not given to their families. At midnight, soldiers of the Pakistan Army seized some bodies from the Morgue at Dhaka Medical College. The bodies left at the morgue were not counted then & this also included the injured people who died at the hospital later. Azim had organised few meeting in protest of the firing on the rally on 21 February 1952. He produced many posters & paintings on the Language Movement during that period. CareerAzim worked as teacher at the Alliance Francaise Karachi, Pakistan. He was also lecturer at Pak-American Centre, Karachi, Pakistan & Teacher’s Training College, Dhaka, Bangladesh. In early ’50s -’60s, Azim & few painters introduced many forms of modern, abstract, abstract-impressionist & abstract-expressionist art. Their works had an enriching influence on other emerging painters as well. Azim set out as a naturist & figurative painter. In the early stages of his career, nature was the focus of his works. Along with natural elements, colour was a predominant aspect of his works. The treatment of colour & the composition was exceptional. An interaction between use of space & objects always carried an aesthetic trademark in his works. Still his’s paintings, with their unique lucid qualities, have lost none of their appeal. His canvases are marked with pigment & fluidity. He always used a limited number of elements in his canvas. Sometimes his works seem to convey the feel of solitude. During a certain phase of his career, he focused on boats. He drew forms of boats that resembled the impression of a new moon or crescent. He strived to maintain a good balance between colour & forms. The interplay of darkness & light was another significant characteristic of his works. He continued his quest for novel & fresh elements in his paintings. He took to using oil paints in a style reminiscent of action painting — quite akin to the works of Jackson Pollock. Azim was brilliant in designs & texture. His compositions assumed an expressionistic look as red, blue & other bold colours began dominating his canvas. He produced many paintings, watercolours & sketches in the course of his short career span. PaintingsAzim was a prominent figure in the art scene of Pakistan all through the 60s. He moved to Karachi in 1957. His works were exhibited widely. Out of a careful mosaic of detail, environmental & psychological, Azim constructed artistic impression of modern life. He had a passion for detail, naturalistic detail that is selective & expressive of a conscious programme. His art is an affair of impression, built up mentally through observation. His boats, burnt-out landscape, jazz musicians, city buildings are an endless procession of impression. He registered the elegance & squalor, the glamour & disenchantment, the charm & the longings of city life & country life with an impartial brush. He loved to be in the natural setting full of delicate perception & conceived in terms of the individual's surroundings. His compositions are often made on the diagonal, with a horizon line, thus creating a more shallow space & in which decorative elements of design, the play of colour & flat shape & flat colour massess can be expressed in more striking patterns. He used colour in subtle touches as a kind of compositional counterpoint to the play of line & arabesques of movement. Azim taught at an art institute in Karachi & Dhaka (1956 - 1971). However, he always kept in touch with his contemporaries in Dhaka & returned to Dhaka (1973) after the Liberation War. Personal life and deathAzim was married to Momtaz Azim. Their two daughters are Humaira Azim and Sumaira Azim. Azim died 1 November 1975 at Dhaka. He was buried at Banani Graveyard, Dhaka. Mrs Momota Azim were preserved & documented the collections of the book "Mubinul Azim - Colours and Dreams" (2015). This book is a collections of reports, articles & discussions on Azim & his works. This collections was published by Bengal Publications as a tribute to Azim. References
