Taking artists Kahlil Gibran, Adham Ismail, and Fateh al-Moudarres as protagonists, it details Syrian efforts to link art--sketches, paintings, and the occasional poem--to a vitalist substrate of sustaining, transhuman life. Theirs is a modernist practice in the Middle East that not only draws on kindred examples from beyond the limits of singular nation-states, but also aims to agitate against state authority altogether"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Gibran, Kahlil, $d 1883-1931. 600 10 $a IsmaÌÊ»iÌl, Adʹham, $d 1922-1963. 600 10 $a Mudarris, FaÌtihÌ£. 650 0 $a Painting, Syrian $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Art $x Political aspects $z Syria. 650 0 $a Painting, Modern $y 20th century $x History. 650 0 $a Modernism (Art) 650 0 $a Art and globalization $x History $y 20th century. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317014447.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210406014942.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE445CBA4F2711EB9A63D65926ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
