This particular work, Sotheby\u2019s says in the auction notes, \u201ccaptures the exquisiteness of Adnan\u2019s cubist abstraction in a composition recalling the cityscape of a place that she once called home \u2026 In fact, one may recognize \u2026 the well-known skyline of San Francisco.\u201d It is an excellent example of both Adnan\u2019s passionate painting style \u2014 thick textures and bold colors \u2014 and of her ability to represent emotions on canvas. It also shows how Adnan liked to leave her works open to interpretation. \u201cAbstract art was the equivalent of poetic expression; I didn\u2019t need to use words, but colors and lines,\u201d Adnan wrote in 1996. She is quoted in the auction notes as also saying: \u201cArt is also a kind of language \u2014 but it\u2019s a language of feeling. When I paint, I am happy. I am both an optimistic, happy person, and caught in and aware of tragedy. Although I lived in California most of my life, I never had a time where I could forget the problems of the Middle East. Every morning the newspaper would remind me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Aref Al-Rayess<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arabnews.com\/sites\/default\/files\/userimages\/2050466\/aref_al-rayess_-_the_desert.jpg\" width=\"1200\"\/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>\u2018Untitled (The Desert)\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nThis is a work from the Lebanese artist\u2019s series of paintings of the Saudi Arabian desert, which he created while based in Jeddah in the 1980s, having relocated to the Kingdom because of the Lebanese Civil War at the invitation of then-mayor of Jeddah, Dr. Mohammed Said Farsi. \u201cWhile living in Jeddah, the artist was set the task of sculpting seven works in stone and aluminum to be installed in the city\u2019s open-air museum. These sculptures provided a new platform for abstraction in his art; henceforth, the success of their form led to another five works being placed in the city of Tabuk,\u201d the auction notes explain. \u201cThe marble and stone used for these commissions were sourced by the artist during multiple excursions across Saudi Arabia. These excursions exposed El-Rayess to the tranquility and spirituality of the Arabian desert \u2026 and provided an escape from the distress and corruption of his homeland. He was particularly inspired by the sanctity of light, its beauty and mysticism,\u00a0which he sought to reproduce in his art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Ziad Antar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arabnews.com\/sites\/default\/files\/userimages\/2050466\/ziad_antar_-_makkah.jpg\" width=\"890\"\/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>\u2018Mecca\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nThis image of Makkah is part of the Lebanese filmmaker and photographer\u2019s \u201cExpired\u201d series, which was shot with an old camera (a 1948 Kodak) using black-and-white film that was made in 1973 and officially expired in 1976. \u201cIt is the ruinous condition of the films that interested me as a medium for my work. As a result, the images are sometimes void of pigment, often damaged, blackened or blurred,\u201d Antar explained to Edge of Arabia. \u201cThe outcome was always unpredictable and uncertain. The whole experiment lies in the idea that even I did not know the result before the images were printed. Today when we try to develop the technology that surrounds taking an image, what we are trying to make is a good image, an image that translates the reality of what we see before us. But in my artistic practice, I do not care about translating the same image that I am seeing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Jamil Molaeb<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arabnews.com\/sites\/default\/files\/userimages\/2050466\/jamil_molaeb_-_jerusalem.jpg\" width=\"664\"\/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>\u2018Jerusalem\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nThe city of Jerusalem was a constant inspiration for Molaeb, a Lebanese artist who began his career in the 1970s. It was a subject he returned to numerous times over the decades, repeating, \u201cwith very slight variations of themes and colors, small architectural and figural elements inherent to the city, whilst hinting at universal symbols,\u201d the auction notes state. \u201cThis work was painted as a bird\u2019s eye view featuring the Dome of the Rock surrounded by houses, fruits, animals and the city\u2019s dwellers, in a dense intersection of stone and nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Lorna Selim<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arabnews.com\/sites\/default\/files\/userimages\/2050466\/lorna_selim_-_three_generations.jpg\" width=\"661\"\/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>\u2018Untitled (Three Generations)\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nSelim was an English-born artist who became deeply involved in Baghdad\u2019s modern art scene in the Fifties and Sixties, having moved to Iraq with her husband, Jewad Selim. She was hugely inspired by Iraqi architecture, and the general visual culture of the country, to the extent that she is thought of primarily as an Iraqi, rather than English, artist. As Sotheby\u2019s notes: \u201cShe is credited with having unveiled the beauty of her adoptive homeland\u2019s traditions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Suleiman Mansour<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arabnews.com\/sites\/default\/files\/userimages\/2050466\/screen_shot_2022-10-20_at_4.17.21_pm.jpg\" width=\"709\"\/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>\u2018Jericho\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nThe Palestinian artist has spent much of his life researching Palestine\u2019s cultural heritage, so it is no surprise that so much of his work also focuses on the folklore and traditions of his homeland. His aim, Sotheby\u2019s states, is to \u201csafeguard indigenous Palestinian culture while offering native forms of inspiration to new generations of artists.\u201d This work is a fine example of how Mansour goes about doing that, featuring as it does a young woman in traditional costume. \u201cThe wealth of different patterns and colors worn by women, including\u00a0fellaheen, is a subject of pride in the Palestinian community,\u201d the auction notes say. \u201cAssociated with the cultural significance of Jericho and other symbols of peace, this painting is an ode to past serene times, emphasized by rich, warming colors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Shafic Aboud<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arabnews.com\/sites\/default\/files\/userimages\/2050466\/shafic_abboud_-_fabrication_du_tapis.png\" width=\"989\"\/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>\u2018Fabrication du Tapis\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nAnother luminary of Lebanon\u2019s contemporary art scene, Abboud \u2014 born in 1926 in the mountains around the Bekaa Valley \u2014 moved to Paris when he was 20 to study and remained there for decades, returning to Lebanon annually until the outbreak of the Civil War prevented him from doing so. In this piece, the auction notes state, \u201cthe artist used bold sweeping color blocks of red, orange, yellow, and plummy purples juxtaposed with distinct clouds of mellow olive, icy blue and stony greys, bridging the raw natural beauty and light of Lebanon with the eclectic and dynamic palettes of his Parisian contemporaries.\u201d Its sale estimate is between \u00a380-120,000.<\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>Walid Raad<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" height=\"795\" src=\"https:\/\/www.arabnews.com\/sites\/default\/files\/userimages\/2050466\/walid_raad_-_city_iv.jpg\" width=\"1200\"\/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<strong>\u2018City IV\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nRaad\u2019s series \u201cWe decided to let them say \u2018We are Convinced\u2019 twice.
