Pakistan-s terrain—from mountains to desert and sea-front—has always inspired artistic response. Various artists in varied colours and contours pay a visual tribute to this stunning land. Some have painted the identifiable to replicate it, an achievement in itself. Others have transformed the observable into a subjective response, a higher achievement. A gifted few have painted the identifiable to apprehend it, to understand it, employing the creative process to resolve artistic problems. These individual responses, informed by historical, literary, geographic, and architectural insights, exalt the collective to form a remarkable exploration. This is as much an inward journey as a physical one and works on several levels.
