  • Nasserism 1 Nasserism
    Nasserism 1 Nasserism Nasserism Ideology Arab nationalism, Pan-Arabism, Arab socialism Nasserism is an Arab nationalist political ideology based on the thinking of the former Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser. It was a major influence on pan-Arab politics in the 1950s and 1960s, and continues to have significant resonance throughout the Arab World to this day. It also metamorphosed into other nationalist movements during the 1970s. However, the scale of the Arab defeat in the Six Day War of 1967 severely damaged the standing of Nasser, and the ideology associated with him. Nasser himself died in 1970, and certain important tenets of Nasserism were revised or abandoned totally by his successor as Egyptian President, Anwar El-Sadat. During Nasser's lifetime, Nasserist groups were encouraged and often supported financially by Egypt, to the extent that many became seen as willing agents of the Egyptian Government. Ideology Nasserism is an Arab nationalist and pan-Arab ideology, combined with a vaguely defined socialism, often distinguished from Eastern bloc or Western socialist thought by the label 'Arab socialism'. Though opposed ideologically to Western capitalism, Arab socialism also developed as a rejection of communism, which was seen as incompatible with Arab traditions, and the religious underpinnings of Arab society. As a consequence, Nasserists from the 1950s to the 1980s sought to prevent the rise of communism in the Arab World, and advocated harsh penalties for individuals and organizations identified as attempting to spread communism within the region. Though mindful of the Islamic and Christian heritage of the Arab World, as with Ba'athism, Nasserism is largely a secular ideology.[1] [2] Just as with other manifestations of Arab nationalism, this led to direct conflict with Islamic orientated Arab political movements from the 1950s onwards, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood.

Moreover, Hamed Abdalla left many writings for beyond drawing and painting, the man cultivated his art theory and had a passion for philosophy. Several exhibition catalogs, dozens of interviews done in various languages, hundreds of newspaper articles, studies made by others on his work, and a large number of letters were recorded and kept by his family; a precious documentation that reveals the life and work of a great artist who was also a great humanist. 1954 – Autoportrait de l’artiste, 39.5 x 29.5 cm, Gouache 1983, Al Joua’ - Hunger, 65 x 50 cm, acrylique appreciated for his beautiful calligraphy.

  • The Iraqi National Museum of Modern Art: Journey of Destruction
    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.

  • 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 .
