PROPERTY FROM THE COLLECTION OF DR MOHAMMED SAID FARSI Dr Farsi presenting his plans for Jeddah, circa 1970s Dr. Mohammed Said Farsi is one of the Middle East’s most remarkable patrons of the visual arts. Farsi was born in 1935 in the South West quarter of Mecca, Saudi Arabia. In 1956, 35 students including Farsi were chosen from all over The Kingdom to be sent to study abroad for further education. Upon completion of his undergraduate studies in Architecture and Town Planning from the University of Alexandria he returned from Egypt to his hometown where he spent 10 years working in the Bureau of Town Planning in the Western District. In 1972, Dr. Farsi became the first Mayor of Jeddah whilst also obtaining a Master’s Degree from the University of Alexandria for his thesis on the architecture and town planning of Mecca. Farsi resigned from public office in 1986 in order to focus on his research. Farsi later received a PhD in Architecture and Town Planning when he started writing a series of essays on art history and architecture that were collected and published as The Story of Art in Jeddah in 1989. Dr. Farsi’s vision as a city planner was to integrate important contemporary art into public spaces as he believed it would enrich the lives of the inhabitants and reflect the ongoing cultural significance of the city both locally and globally. He commissioned over 400 pieces by Arab and International artists including works by the great modern masters Henry Moore, Victor Vasarely and Cesar. In 1991 a book entitled Jeddah City of Art was published by his son Hani to celebrate his father’s achievements. A driving force in the Egyptian art scene, Dr Farsi offered significant guidance and support to young emerging artists and at the same time he promoted and collected a great deal of modern Egyptian art. Farsi became the only Modern Egyptian Art collector to have systematically documented the works in his collection, commissioning a book that was published in 1998 by the critic and scholar Dr. Sobhy Sharouny entitled A Museum in a Book: The Farsi Art Collection “The Egyptian Works” Owned by Dr. Mohammed Said Farsi. Dr. Farsi’s profound fondness for Egypt, notably Alexandria found expression in the creation of his astounding collection, he himself commented that “Living intimately within Alexandria’s enchanted atmosphere of the 1950s had the greatest effect in forming my artistic consciousness”. Dr Farsi’s interests later spread over a much broader spectrum as he also began collecting classical Islamic Art.

  • Naser Hassan AI-Rifaei
    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.

  • Cultural Continuity in Modern Iraqi Painting Between 1950- 1980
    Vol.14/No.47/May 2017 Received 2016/06/13 Accepted 2016/11/02 Persian translation of this paper entitled: تداوم فرهنگی در نقاشی مدرن عراق بین سال های 1950 و 1980 is also published in this issue of journal. Cultural Continuity in Modern Iraqi Painting between 1950- 1980 Shakiba Sharifian* Mehdi Mohammadzade** Silvia Naef*** Mostafa Mehraeen**** Abstract Since the early years of 1950, which represent the development period of modern Iraqi art, the “return to the roots” movement has been an impartible mainstream in Iraq. The first generation of modern artists like Jewad Salim and Shakir Hassan Al-Said considered “cultural continuity” and the link between “tradition and modernity” and “inspiration from heritage1” as the main essence of their artistic creation and bequeathed this approach to their next generation. Having analyzed and described a selection of artworks of modern Iraqi artists, this paper discusses the evolution of modern Iraqi art, and aims to determine cultural and artistic continuity in modern paintings of Iraq. It also seeks to answer the questions that investigate the socio-cultural factors that underlie the formation of art and establish a link between traditional and modern ideas and lead to continuity in tradition. Therefore, the research hypothesis is put to scrutiny on the basis of Robert wuthnow’s theory. According to Wuthnow, although configuration and the objective production of this movement is rooted in the “mobilization of resources”, the artistic content and approach of the painting movement (i.e. the continuation of the tradition along with addressing modern ideas) is influenced by factors such as “social Horizon”, “existing discursive context” and “cultural capital” of the painters.

    Barjeel Art Foundation Collection: Imperfect Chronology – Debating Modernism I 8 September – 6 December 2015 Large print labels and interpretation Gallery 7 1 Barjeel Art Foundation Collection: Imperfect Chronology An exhibition in four parts: 8 Sept 2015 – 8 Jan 2017 Part of the Whitechapel Gallery’s programme opening up rarely seen art collections from around the world, a series of four chronological displays highlights works from the Barjeel Art Foundation’s collection of Arab art. The theme of an ‘imperfect chronology’ is the series’ starting point: how do we narrate the history of Arab art through the lens of one collection? Over 100 works of art by 60 artists from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day are brought together here to tell this story. The Barjeel Art Foundation is based in the United Arab Emirates and was founded by Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi in 2010. It holds one of the most extensive collections of art from the Arab world and its diaspora – a region that extends across North Africa and southwestern Asia encompassing the 22 countries of the Arab League. (continues on next page) 2 With a population of over 350 million of various ethnic and religious identities, Arabic (in its various dialects) is the dominant language of expression. Barjeel Art Foundation collection: Debating Modernism I 8 September – 6 December 2015 The first display takes an expansive historical approach and explores the emergence and subsequent development of Arab art through drawings and paintings from the early twentieth century to 1967–68, an important historical period in the region, with landmark works by Munira Al-Kazi , Da Azzawi , Inji Efflatoun , Kadhim Hayder and Hamed Ewais .

Les médias nous dépeignent souvent une société majoritairement islamique fondamentaliste. Cette image, qui pourrait relever d’une représentation tardive du Moyen Orient par l’Occident est empreinte de problématiques d’ordre économique et soci étal. Une analyse précise permet de mettre au jour des singularités nationales et intranationales. Les développements artistiques profitent de ces sources multiples. Pour inclure les artistes du Moyen Orient dans l’histoire de l’art du monde , et comprendre les œuvres d’art contemporain, nous nous sommes servis de plusieurs approches. O utre l’analyse esthétique et la recherche d’influences formelles, il s’agit de comprendre les positions politiques de l'artiste, sa psychologie, son rôle dans la société, mais aussi la place de la religion dans la vie publique, la valeur attribuée à l’art contemporain et sa réception dans la société.

In ancient times, artisans and architects created artworks and monuments that spoke of the glory of rulers and the flourishing of cultures. This gave way to the formation of aesthetics and the fashioning of complex visual languages that marked every facet of life. Advancements in technology and the improvement of techniques led to the sustained progress of artistic approaches over centuries and throughout the rise and fall of dynasties, empires, colonies and regimes. With the rapid spread of Islam from the Arabian Peninsula throughout the Levant, North Africa, Asia and Europe, art continued to be critical to the defining of spiritual, political and cultural realities. From its modest beginnings in Mecca and Medina, where the earliest plans of mosques were executed during the time of the Prophet Mohammad, to the grandiose structures of the Ottoman Empire, the impact of art patronage was realized in the development of visual culture. This has been carried on through countless elements of the modern Middle East, as the fashioning of Arab society has frequently been felt through the building of its cultural patrimony.

  • Modern Arab Masters Cover Jamil Hammoudi (B.1924) Ermenonville (Detail) Modern Arab Masters 27 September - 12 October 2012 Introduction
    MODERN ARAB MASTERS Cover Jamil Hammoudi (b.1924) Ermenonville (detail) MODERN ARAB MASTERS 27 SEPTEMBER - 12 OCTOBER 2012 INTRODUCTION Grosvenor Gallery is proud to present an exhibition of paintings by some of the foremost Arab artists of the late twentieth century. We have collected the work of pioneering artists from Iraq and Syria to attempt to display the inception and development of the modern art movement in these countries, both equally rich in history and heritage. We are especially fortunate to display two rare and important paintings from the first group exhibition of Arab art to tour the West, as part of Carerras Craven ‘A’, Arab Art Exhibition in 1967. These works; Dia Azzawi’s Islamic Compositions, and Hashim Samarji’s Composition of Sights, have not been displayed publically since the late 1960s and were heavily complimented by the organisers of the exhibition, with Samarji’s work winning first prize in the Iraqi section of the show. Artists from Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and the United Arab Republic took part in the exhibition, which toured ten capital cities over a period of nine months, finishing in Rome on the 7th August 1967. The Carreras exhibition is a true milestone in the history of 20th century Arab art, marking the first time a large group exhibition of works by Middle Eastern artists had been exposed to European audiences. During the mid 20th century, the governments of Iraq and Syria were instrumental in promoting the visual arts in their respective countries. Young artists were sent to study in Rome, Paris and London to learn about Western techniques, and faculties of art were established at universities in Baghdad and Damascus.
