Description

This monograph devoted to the painting and cultural heritage of Lebanese artist Gebran Tarazi (1944–2010) presents a body of work unlike any other: the work of a hermit absorbed in geometry and engaged in an unrelenting quest for a lost territory encompassing identity, politics and aesthetics. Here the most illuminating, emblematic outcome of this spiritual ascesis—the paintings from between 1988 and 2003, intended as conceptual, symphonic groupings—is to be found side by side with his other works: graphic works, chests and mirrors. Whence his "seasons": geometrical and chromatic variations that explore the square format as an ornamental labyrinth whose geo-cultural ramifications reflect the influences of Damascus, Jerusalem, Rabat and Beirut. While interacting with European geometrical abstraction and modernism (especially Josef Albers and the Bauhaus), Tarazi nonetheless pursued his personal Mediterranean utopia and its implicit untangling of the knot that is the war in Lebanon. This book offers a sweeping vision of an oeuvre at once analytical and surreal, rigorous and dreamlike. More broadly, it lays bare an intellectual trajectory which, in addition to its rendering of a mystical quest, stands as a key resource not only for art history, but also for literary studies and "post-Orientalist" thinking. The catalogue of works is accompanied by excerpts from the artist's writings, journal, letters and critical texts.
