An oil painting on canvas of 1958 by Lorna Selim, showing a woman in a dark abaya with two children. Selim moved to Baghdad in 1950 and became a member of the Baghdad Modern Art Group the following year, painting the people and city around her. The work reflects the group’s manifesto of producing art committed to global modernism while informed by local culture, and is presented in What Lingers in the Artist Mind.
