انتظار حسین کے افسانوں میں تجریدیت

Abstractionizm in Intizar Hussain's Stories

Abstract

Abstractionism is a Western movement that emerged in France in 1908. Rather than focusing on  single viewpoint, it seamlessly incorporates multiple perspectives. Being faceless and formless, it contains many elements of generality. Every phrase, sentence or writing is called abstract that deals with the collection or classification of objects or people. Under abstractionism, the artist fulfills his unsatisfied desires and emotions in his creations. The meaningful understanding of such creations requires deep literary and psychological insight. Intizar Hussain's stories "Akhiri Admi", "Kaya Kalap", "Hadioon ka Dhanch", "Woh Jo Khoye Gaye", "Shehr-e-Afsos", "Shehadat", "Keta Hwa Diba", etc., are excellent examples of abstractionism. The nameless characters of these plotless stories are in the grip of the invasion of unconscious thoughts, shadows, illusions and fears. Intizar Hussain has drawn attention to human lust, hunger, selfishness, self-forgetfulness, fear, terror and spiritual decline, in the veil of abstractionism. The workings of the unconscious can be felt in the fabric of Intizar Hussain's abstract stories. He has expressed his feelings, emotions and experiences in the context of his senses.
