Beskrivning

Modern Painting in Egypt is an invitation to journey through the Egyptian art scene of the 20th century, spotlighting many of its major painters and their role in shaping Egypt's cultural heritage. This two-volume edition revives the book by Aimé Azar, a noted specialist of modern Egyptian art, first published in 1961 by Éditions Nouvelles and long out of print. Expanded and enriched, it gives readers a comprehensive understanding of this period in art history through texts and imagery of exceptional quality. The book is divided into seven chapters, followed by more than 90 biographies of Egyptian and foreign artists, presented chronologically in volume 2 and spanning 40 years of modern Egyptian art. A corpus of more than 600 paintings and drawings illustrates the book, allowing readers to grasp the essence of Egyptian painting and the full range of its nuances. Translated and reprinted in Arabic in 2006, it is now published in English to give the subject international reach.
