She not only documented her travels around tourist sites in Lebanon but also sought creative experimentation with her camera by staging scenes, manipulating shadows, and superimposing negatives to produce different effects in her prints. Within her photographs, bedouins and European friends, peasants and landlords, men and women comfortably share the same space. Her photographs include an intriguing collection portraying her family and friends living their everyday lives in 1920s and '30s Zgharta, a village in the north of Lebanon. Yasmine Nachabe Taan explores these photographs, emphasizing the ways in which notions of gender and class are inscribed within them and revealing how they are charged with symbols of women's emancipation to today's viewers, through women's presence as individuals, separate from family restrictions of that time. Images in which women are depicted smoking cigarettes, driving cars, riding horses, and accompanying men on hunting trips counteract the common ways in which women were portrayed in contemporary Lebanon"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Photography $z Lebanon $x History $y 20th century. 600 10 $a Al-Khazen, Marie, $d 1899-1983 $x Appreciation. 650 0 $a Women photographers $z Lebanon. 600 10 $a Yammine, Mohsen $x Photograph collections. 650 7 $a Art appreciation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815447 650 7 $a Photograph collections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061600 650 7 $a Photography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061714 650 7 $a Women photographers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178288 651 7 $a Lebanon. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206063 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 710 2 $a Fondation Arabe pour l'image, $e researcher. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Nachabe Taan, Yasmine, $t Reading Marie al-Khazen's photographs : Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
