An Artist in Afghanistan
By Ghausuddin
The violations of human rights in Afghanistan continue to drive major cultural figures from the country. One such refugee in 1985 was Ghausuddin, Afghanistan's leading painter and graphic artist.

He is seventy-three years old and suffers from the aftereffects of a heart attack.
