How many famous painters do we have in Pakistan?

Zainab Hussain | 13 years ago

I'm working on a assignment where I have to search for the world famous artists of all the time, that made me think how many painters do we have in our country? except gulji or many I'm not aware of them.

Isn't "art" been neglected in my country badly? why is so? art is an great medium to portray a softer image intentionally then why dun we produce such great artists?
