Overview

\"'Taking Shape: Abstraction from the Arab World, 1950s-1980s' investigates the development of abstraction in West Asia and North Africa via paintings, sculpture, and drawings made during a period of rapid industrialization, several wars and mass migrations, new state formations, and the rise and fall of Arab nationalism(s). Examining how a diverse group of artists mined the region's rich artistic heritage as well as the expressive capacities of line, color, and texture, this book highlights various abstract practices that arose in the Arab world and its diaspora in the mid-20th century. Alongside vibrant images of nearly ninety works--all drawn from the remarkable collection of the Barjeel Art Foundation, based in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates--'Taking Shape' featuers nine essays by leading scholars who are rethinking art-historical canons and expanding discourses around global modernism.\" --publisher's description, lower cover.
