Ahmed Saeed Nagi
Pakistani painter
Ahmed Saeed Nagi (Urdu: احمد سعید ناگی) (2 February 1916 – 1 September 2006), was a noted Pakistani painter artist. He was known as the 'official artist' of the Pakistan freedom movement.[1]
Having a portrait made by Nagi became a trademark for top politicians since Nagi made the first portrait of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, (the founder of Pakistan). A person who believed in universality, he was known for his friendship with the late Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, which was partly the reason he never painted a portrait of Zia-ul-Haq.[2]
