Ahmed Pervez

Ahmed Parvez (1926 – 1979) was a modernist painter from Rawalpindi, Pakistan. He was a member of The Lahore Group in Pakistan

Declaring his paintings to be "art of the highest standard", George Butcher wrote for The Guardian in 1963 that his abstract painting Three in One (II) was "as complete and beautiful a testament to the resolution of the Eastern pattern and Western Tachism as has been accomplished by anyone. The mood is as near to [Paul] Klee as it is to the jeweled ambiance of an Eastern potentate." In the late 1960s, he spent two years living and working in the United States before returning to Pakistan. During this time, he exhibited his work at the Galerie Internationale in New York City and married Reiko Isago, from Sendai, Japan. She would later give birth to their son, Aleem Isago Parvez.

Death In 1979, Ahmed Parvez was found unconscious in a Karachi hotel following a massive brain hemorrhage. He died in a hospital soon after.
