New Delhi: Google on Saturday (April 23, 2022) celebrated Naziha Salim, one of Iraq's best-known artists, with a special doodle. On this day in 2020, Naziha Salim was spotlighted by the Barjeel Art Foundation in their collection of female artists.
"Today’s Doodle artwork is an ode to Salim's painting style and a celebration of her long-standing contributions to the art world," Google said.
Born into a family of Iraqi artists in Turkey in 1927, Naziha Salim was a painter, professor and one of the most influential artists in Iraq’s contemporary art scene.
Her father was a painter and her mother was a skilled embroidery artist. All three of her brothers worked in the arts, including Jawad, who’s widely known as one of Iraq’s most influential sculptors.
