Timeline
He is arguably the most distinguished Iraqi artist-calligrapher in the 21st century.
Muhammad Sa'id al-Sakkar (Arabic: محمد سعيد الصكار) (French: Mohammed Saïd Saggar) (born 25 April 1934, Miqdadiyah) was an Iraqi poet and calligrapher.
He was born in Miqdadiyah in the Diyala Governorate in 1934.
al-Sakkar was born in 1934 in Miqdadiyah, east of Baghdad, but grew up in Basra, a governate in southern Iraq.
In his long professional career, al-Sakkar practiced journalism as an editor, calligrapher, and designer since 1955.
His collections of poetry include:
His publications include:
al-Sakkar has received several awards, most notably the Architectural Heritage Award, which he received in recognition of his design of the Mecca Gate.
Basra remained visible in al-Sakkar's works, starting with his first poetry collection Rain (1962) and An Orange in the Surah of Water (1968), as well as his many paintings, which made him a prominent present-day calligrapher and artisan.
He used to be a painter; he ran a publishing house in Paris since 1978, and has been a journalist since 1955.
He published his literature and critical articles in many newspapers and magazines.
He has published over 14 books of poetry, theatre, the short story, linguistics, art, and other disciplines.
The Iraqi artist has resided in France since 1978; he chose it when he was forced into exile and had more time to work on his art works in his studio.
al-Sakkar died in Paris on March 23, 2014.
The Arab World Institute honored al-Sakkar on the 17th of March.
"[al-Sakkar was] one of the most outstanding representatives of modern Arabic calligraphy," said Jack Lang, President of the Arab World Institute and former French Minister of Culture.
al-Sakkar created the "Focused Arabic Alphabet" 40 years ago in an attempt to simplify Arabic script for the developments of digital printing systems.
Thanks to this innovation, the first informatics applications were launched, enabling computer designers to design various Arabic texts currently in use.
