Square picture

Through 50 portraits of artists from the four corners of the Arab world, Brahim Alaoui attempts to write a history of Arab art. The author who has long been at the head of the museum of the Arab World Institute has known these artists closely, rubbing shoulders with them in their work and their lives. A look at modern and contemporary Arab artists, this is the title of his book published by Skira editions.
