Description
Artistic expression in the Middle East is experiencing something of a renaissance. This book provides an overview of modern and contemporary art of the Middle East and Arab world from 1945 to the present, with an emphasis on artists active today.
Description
Steeped in history and tradition, artistic expression in the Arab world and Iran is experiencing a renaissance of its very own. Domestic patronage is flourishing and an array of new museums and art fairs across the region is helping to stimulate international interest in an increasingly noticeable movement. This work is a survey of modern and contemporary art of the Arab world and Iran from the mid-1950s to the present day. The book begins with a highly informative introduction to the subject. It is then divided into seven themed sections, including sacred scripture; music and performance; and politics, conflict and war. Extended captions provide a commentary on each work and the artist behind its creation, while also placing it in a wider context. It contains more than 450 colour illustrations, a guide to Arabic script, and biographies of the 200 plus featured artists -- From book jacket.
