  • Amin Ismail Gulgee (* 25. Oktober 1926 in Peschawar; † 16. Dezember 2007 in Karachi) war ein pakistanischer Künstler in Peschawar. Gulgee war für seine abstrakte Malerei und für seine Porträts berühmt. Er war künstlerisch beeinflusst von der traditionellen islamischen Kalligrafie und der amerikanischen Kunstrichtung Action Painting, wobei seine kalligrafischen Gemälde als ausdrucksstarke Interpretationen arabischer Schriftzeichen verstanden werden können. Am 18. Dezember 2007 wurde Gulgee mit seiner Frau und einer Hausangestellten ermordet in seinem Haus aufgefunden. (de)

Se inició en el retrato, siendo sus obras más importantes los de la Familia Real afgana a finales de la década de 1950, para pasar posteriormente a la pintura abstracta.
