ART SHAMAN CLEMENTE


Francisco Clemente with Alighiero e Boetti, Afghanistan 1974

I just learned that art in the seventies happened like vagabonding:

"stoned-soul picnics in 1970s Kabul and the Hindu Kush in Afghanistan before the Soviet invasion of 1979; of vibrant, easy-to-plunder craft traditions – embroidery, paper-making, miniaturists for hire – in Pakistan and India, before their emergence as political minefields and global giants; of long walks through the labyrinthine kasbah in Cairo, of taking tea with Paul Bowles in Tangiers"

Brooks Adams

I want to take tea with Paul Bowles in Morocco.
