Book

Views on modern and contemporary Arab artists

Alaoui, Brahim, editor

2023

Overview

After dedicating over three decades to intercultural mediation, Brahim Alaoui, former director of the museum of the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, looks back on encounters with Arab artists in their home countries or in exile. He brings knowledge and a sensitive look at the work of a generation of modern artists who were often trained in post-war Europe and then went back to their country to reflect on their identity and develop a post-colonial modernity. Alaoui also presents a selection of contemporary artists who have emancipated themselves from classical ways of representation at the turn of the 21st century, exploring new mediums and bringing an original contribution to the global dynamics of international artistic networks. Through 50 portraits of artists in their homes and studios, we come across the history of art in the Arab world since the beginning of the 20th century until today.
