Zarina Hashmi, the celebrated Indian-American artist and printmaker, was recently honoured by Google on her 86th birthday with a captivating doodle. Created by guest artist Tara Anand based in New York, the doodle pays homage to Hashmi's unique style, which involved the use of minimalist abstract and geometric shapes to delve into the concepts of home, displacement, borders, and memory.
Google Doodle: A part of the Minimalism Art movement, Indian-American Zarina Hashmi became internationally known for her striking woodcuts and intaglio prints that combine semi-abstract images of houses and cities where she had lived.
Born on this day in 1937 in the small Indian town of Aligarh, Zarina's family was forced to flee to Karachi in the newly formed Pakistan during the Partition in 1947
