Thinking of how to draw a picture of the region makes me think of Francesco Goya's new work, especially if he was alive today. Perhaps this could be a conventional observation when you think of the Arab homeland; it's constantly a broad graphic representation, but I would argue that we could undoubtedly imagine this starting point by thinking alternatively about it. After almost two years of living with the Covid-19 pandemic, we functioned as agents living in one big clinic, speculating on our life. I would debate that we juggled a lot, but we are learning all the time and adapting. As artists, cultural workers, and cultural institutions, we bargained on the legendary, lived on the clouded and digital network, and met on camera. Yet, we made a significant effort to stay creative by adapting to the new world order. Together with all of this recording, a fundamental observation suggests that we genuinely missed the basics of our former life practices. The human connection - this could be the principal loss of the last two years, not to sound egotistic or needier than humanity at large, I would translate this to a naive need for artists - the need to look, interact and observe. In this regard, I would invite you to think of it as David Hockney did, about the art of looking as hard work. I would certainly invite you to look in-depth at each artist's work in this auction. Each one of them has an extraordinary moment to share with you, from Nedim Kufi's conceptual approach to painting to Jamal Abdulrahim’s mastery in printmaking, and all the unique and exemplary perspectives that female Arab artists offer in this context; such as, the voices in the work of Shetha Al Numan, Inass Yassin and others. Moreover, as humans we missed the moments when we come together, standing and observing the artwork in a tangible fashion, in a real museum, gallery, or at the artist's studio. This moment indeed offers a magical opportunity to "look" and to develop an intimate relationship with an art work, or to fall in love with it, or even to be critical of it from the spectators’ lens. This auction brings together a diverse group of artists with unique individual experiences. Most importantly, artists from Bahrain, UAE and Egypt being honoured in this auction after a difficult time the region has faced recently. We come back together looking at art, looking forward to a mutual future, that is mutually inclusive. As we rethink the position of the arts, I would advise that it's imperative to rethink the artists' noble contributions to the current and future development of Qatar's creative economy and the Arab homeland. This field will offer, with no doubt, a value to diversification. #TheFutureIsForCreativity. DR.

It is a feeling of pride and honor, and at the same time a feeling of gratitude and appreciation to- ward the pioneers who created modern Egyptian heritage. One of them is Saroukhan, the Egyp- tian artist of Armenian origin who represents a landmark in modern Egyptian caricature art that was the result of the Egyptian democratic move- ments in times of war, invasions, feudalism and political, social and cultural vitality. The BA Arts Center is grateful to the great artist’s family for their lending the BA these wonderful masterpieces, and grateful to the artists Mustafa El-Razzaz and Hrant Keshishian for their follow- ing-up and choosing from the works of this great artist’s heritage. We also appreciate the role of the Armenian General Benevolent Union in establish- ing this historical exhibition, which we hope to be a new start towards documenting the works of this artist and introducing him to the Egyptian generations of youth.

Undated pre-2003 photo. By Maha Mohammed 02/04/2007 Baghdad, Apr 2, (VOI) -- The Monument of Liberty, which stands in the heart of Baghdad, is one of the capital's most significant symbols of art and a distinguishing feature in Iraqi cultural life. In fact, the monument is part of the memory of generations of Iraqis who consider it, along with Jawad Saleem, its sculptor, a memory of time and place. These days mark the 86th anniversary of the Iraqi artist’s birth. Saleem (1921-1961) was one of the most renowned sculptors in Iraq's modern history. http://iraqslogger.powweb.com/index.php/post/2194/Artists_Remember_Celebrated_Sculptor Page 1 of 6 IraqSlogger: Artists Remember Celebrated Sculptor 7/19/19, 10(58 AM Saleem was born in March into a family known for its love of art and drawing. His father, Hajj Saleem, and his siblings, Souad, Nizar and Naziha, were all plastic artists. Among his most prominent works was the Monument of Liberty, which now stands in Tahrir Square, in the center of Baghdad, and is regarded by many international artists as one of the most important monuments in the Middle East. Among his other achievements was the establishment of a group in Baghdad for Modern art. Saleem was also a founding member of the Iraqi Plastic Artists Society.

    The Iraqi National Museum of Modern Art: Journey of Destruction By Ali I. al-Dulaimi Region: Middle East & North Africa Global Research, May 22, 2019 Theme: History In-depth Report: IRAQ REPORT A glimpse of the plastic arts in Iraq The contemporary Iraqi plastic art is considered to be the legitimate heir of the ancient Iraqi civilizations of Sumer and Babylon. Relics have beem found indicating that the Iraqi craftsman is the first artist in the world. He is the one who creates and produces such beautiful household pottery pieces for functional purposes for eating, drinking and other daily uses. The Baghdad School of Art of Illustration was founded by Iraqi artist Yahya bin Mahmoud bin Yahya bin Abi al-Hassan al-Wasiti who laid down its pillars. Al-Wasiti lived in the seventh Hijri century and is considered to be at the forefront of Arab and Islamic creativity scene where the Islamic art of illustration could be straightened and become competitive. Then this School spread from Mesopotamia to all other Islamic countries. Al-Wasiti inspired others with his miniature manuscripts on which he painted topics and narrative facts from the collections of al-Hariri which were written by Abu Muhammad al-Qasim bin Ali bin Othman al-Basri, famous as “al-Hariri”. These collections are considered to be among the Arabic literary masterpieces due to their richness of material, accuracy of observation and unique imagination. Artist al-Wasiti completed illustrating and scripting these collections in 634 A.H./1237 A.D., and they are now treasured at several international museums and libraries.

    The Principle of Movement in Moroccan Design; as a source of inspiration for contemporary artistic applications Practice-based research in Art and Design Naser Hassan AI-Rifaei A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Brighton for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2009 University of Brighton Abstract This project focuses on utilizing the principle of movement contained in traditional Moroccan design (PMMD) for the production of new and inventive artworks. The PMMD is one of the main concepts that rules the creation and construction of design elements; it consists of a group of advanced technical procedures applied to achieve the highest levels of unity, harmony, variation and rhythm between lines and shapes. Great consideration in the PMMD is given to the viewer's perception, as all parts are formed to be equally interesting and to work harmoniously together suggesting ways for the viewer's eye to interact with and move in and throughout the composition. The purpose of this research is to examine viable methods for stimulating new ideas by taking the aesthetic and technical significances of the PMMD as a source of creative inspiration. The work involved analyzing the relationship between form, method and perception in traditional compositions by exploring the role of PMMD in 1) the process of creating and shaping design elements separately, 2) methods of relating the lines and shapes of different design components. Data on PMMD was collected from recent literature on Islamic art and Moroccan design, from interviews with master-craftsmen, and from my personal analyses and observations.

This year will be the last hardcopy publication of the calendar, as growing production costs necessitate our transition to more cost- effective dissemination methods. In the coming years, NCTC will use a variety of online and other media platforms to continue to share the valuable information found in the CT Calendar with a broad customer set, including our Federal, State, Local, and Tribal law enforcement partners; agencies across the Intelligence Community; private sector partners; and the US public. On behalf of NCTC, I want to thank all the consumers of the CT Calendar during the past 12 years. We hope you continue to find the CT Calendar beneficial to your daily efforts. Sincerely, Nicholas J. Rasmussen Director The US National Counterterrorism Center is pleased to present the 2016 edition of the Counterterrorism (CT) Calendar. This edition, like others since the Calendar was first published in daily planner format in 2003, contains many features across the full range of issues pertaining to international terrorism: terrorist groups, wanted terrorists, and technical pages on various threat-related topics.
