Life and achievements
Congratulations for this article in Arabic regarding the life and achievements of the great "Savant" Abdallah Lahoud. The article is well written, but needs to be better synthesized. The article style is not so easy to understand and it contains some errors in the typing. But it has a big value as it documents the life of Abdallah Lahoud and I thank the writer and your site for publishing it online, making it available for a wide audience. Regards, Juergen-Sélim Schmidt

Nice article, but needs to be better synthesized
Dear Onefineart Webmaster, I read the article regarding Abdallah Lahoud, a famous lawyer from Amchit (Byblos, Lebanon) and I appreciate to find such articles online. You are really contributing to create a database of our great people in Lebanon. Thank you! However, I had some difficulties in understanding the different steps in the life and works of Abdallah Lahoud and I think, that this article should be better synthesized to provide better profile of this famous lawyer. They may add also that Nabih Berry, present Presidant of the chamber, has worked in his office. Kind regards, Viviane Haddad, Venezuela

Soul for massive sculptures
I love a lot massive sculptures in opens air. Those art pieces of works you expose here showing abstract Iron and steel form of sculptures are amazing... who is that artist I never hear about him before... Massive sculptures gives respect to particles of physics and beside that it is not easy to make from something huge and massive… poetic and fluent forms... I mean gives soul to heavy metals form… these works you expose give nice shape and nice soul. Regards

Mr Antoine, your works hide an unwinding of unconsciousness manifested through the brush of colors and forms... in nearly all your works added here in this art site, I see the selfish woman and the nude innocent boy... and if not that subject you put in your work the contrast "the two extreme side" of "Emotive movement and mechanical movement - the first painting", "the transcended movement from inside inner self to creator - second paintings" - "The rose and black heart" - etc.... Anyway I am not judging you at all, I like the style and the philosophy behind the artworks, specially the one showing "Raphael watering the concrete pillars" and "Apple Tree". God bless you and plz keep creating.
Megan S.
I especially like the apple tree - a successfully different take on the classic 'woman morphs into a tree' painting. Smoothly executed and well expressed. I like the subdued color palette, to me it expresses a repression of emotion, creating a nonverbal longing in the viewer. Well done!

Dear one fine art, I was blessed to discover your site one fine art. I found this site very interesting and "Utile" as French say. Your site is Multilanguage and full of information on artists (Multi-facette) of all kind of art, and beside that, the site contains a lot of articles about Lebanese arts in general and artists in particular and Arabs artists... The section Past Artists is really something to say… Can you add some profile of acclaimed poet Nadia Tueni. (God bless the late Hero Gibran. Can you try to add also more articles about Islamic arts and arabesque.
Hanan Hamade
I love visiting your art center. Your site gather huge information and I will rate you high. However I was searching information for artist Fluvio and Flavia Codsi.. I didn't find.. I care more for the paintings of Flavia who I appreciate more.. can you add a profile for her.
Mohammad Moukarem
Can you present a profile about calligrapher Sami Makarem. Plz I need from my research.

This Art Portal Onefineart presenting Lebanese and arab artist painters, poets, sculptors, photographers and more... is truly an important place of the Lebanese media. Please keep doing well. I can assure you your site can be considered as an art an Arab culture wikipedia for Arab world.

I reviewed your works in this site. I admit some are very nice with a correct mixture and selection of colors. But in some other if the colors are well chosen, I feel either the subject is not well shaped or the strokes of brush are not tender.. they are distributed in the canvas with less love... why?

Dear Mr Antoine. It was with great pleasure I surf your profile and found your Giant sculpture.. Nice works. The project of the Phoenician ship is quite impressive. All the best.

The Dynamism showing in your monumental sculpture works are impressive. It is probably heavyweight creativity but it has some fluidity; I mean those two showing in the OneFineArt: Martyrs' statue of Lebanon, Monument to the First Sailor and Alphabet. If you believe in your First Sailor of Alphabets you should make a donation site on the internet... maybe Lebanese, if they like the idea, can make your dream comes true. Tony Bassil 15.7.09

Emile Karam
Très bon travail concernant Afifi Karam, mais nom d'auteur d'article manquant. Cher Monsieur, Félicitations d'avoir pris l'initiative d'écrire sur des poètes et écrivains libanais du passé. En fait, dans notre pays et en général dans les pays arabe, aucune documentation en ligne n'existe encore, concernant des écrivains de nos pays. Vous nous donnez ici la chance de redécouvrir une femme-écrivain brillante,mais vous omettez de précisez l'auteur et les références de cette publication. Il serait mieux de citer toujours des références, pour la crédibilité des textes. Merci encore pour nous donner l'occasion de redécouvrir ces perles oubliées du passé, que l'Etat Libanais oublie d'honorer, dans la foulée des guerres et des crises économiques successives. Bien cordialement G. Karam

معجب بالشعر خاصت
Reviewer: علي الجفري
العزيز عاطف هل لديك كتب او أي منشورات أو تنظم أمسيات شعر في البلاد العربية أو لبنان. انا معجب بالشعر خاصتك. أنا من لبنان عمري 16 ولكن أعيش في سوريا مع والدتي أسمي علي
صديقي عاطف
reply
صديقي عاطف، قمت بقرأة صفحاتك على الموقع عدة مرات، وقد حفظت أيضا "قبطان السفينة الغارقة" – "الفارس والذئب". أتصور أيضا لماذا قمت بكتابت تلك القصائد لربما لتقف بوجه الأستبداد في العالم... أنا أكتب مثلك الشعر(ليس بثلاثتك) ولكن بيني وبين ذاتي لربما لأمسح دموعي... وقد فقدت أخي الكبير في لبنان في حرب تموز... صديقك وأخوك علي.

Reviewer: Atef Mahmoud
العزيز... على الجفرى سعيد برسالتك ويشرفنى التواصل معك وليس بغريب أن من شجعنى على كتابة الشعر هو لبنانى وأن أول رسالة إعجاب بالشعر وصلتنى من لبنانى مقيم فى فرنسا والآن وصلتنى رسالتك وهى أيضاً من لبنانى مقيم فى سوريا ولك أن تعرف أننى لم أكتب كلمة واحدة خارج لبنان. أما عن سؤالك عن كتب فى الأسواق أو أمسيات شعرية فأقول لك أنا أقل مما تخيلت فأنا عامل زراعى أعمل فى باريس العرب "لبنان" ولو قرأت المقدمة على الموقع لعرفت كل شئ عنى. يشرفنى التواصل،،، عاطف

The line of the artworks and curves are so fluent... it is like a melody of music or to be precise a melody of flute.... I don't know I feel myself hearing flute when I saw your works. Amazing!

Artists from Lebano. Very nice works... molding steels like potteries or clays are something unique... He is attaching steels to each other's but creating spirit on the works molded. I am new to this artist who I discovered while surfing website OneFineArt.com but It was a charming moments to discover that combination of tough and tenderness! Lovely artist from Lebanon.

Very nice selection
I have a painting from Mr. Fattouh from his old selection 1990. When I was visiting Lebanon this summer 2008... I saw a huge exhibition in Faraya Mzaar and Mr. Fattouh was exposing besides many Lebanese creators. His last works are not as beautiful as before… I think the artist needs to work again for his style... He still has a nice choice of colors… but I didn’t like a lot his new abstract works...

Georges Melki
Phéniciens et Etoile Polaire
J'ai beaucoup apprécié l'article sur Charles Corm posté sur votre site. C'est vraiment quelqu'un qui n'a pas reçu les honneurs qu'il mérite, ni au Liban ni en France... Cela dit, il faut faire attention quand on quitte le domaine de la poésie et qu'on s'aventure dans le domaine de la science. Deux points sont à relever: 1- L'Etoile "Polaire"-ou alpha de la Petite Ourse- n'était pas polaire à l'époque des Phéniciens: cela est dû au phénomène connu sous le nom de 'précession des Equinoxes". L'axe de la Terre n'est pas absolument fixe par rapport aux étoiles lointaines, il est sujet à une lente précession(comme le mouvement d'une toupie en fin de course) qui a une période de 26000 ans. En conséquence, son point d'intersection avec la sphère céleste varie lentement, et passe d'un signe du Zodiac au signe voisin tous les deux mille ans à peu près...L'étoile alpha de la Petite Ourse n'est devenue vraiment polaire que vers le haut Moyen-Age. Dans mille cinq cents ans, elle ne le sera plus, et c'est Véga qui prendra sa place.. 2- L'histoire de la découverte de la physique nucléaire par Moscus est une fable digne des élucubrations mystico-poétiques de notre Said Akl national! Cessons de répéter les histoires abracadabrantes qui n'ont aucun fondement, tant historique que scientifique! La "théorie" atomique de moscus, reprise par les Grecs Démocrite et Lucrèce, a autant de fondement que l'existence de l'âme postulée par Platon, c.a.d nul du point de vue scientifique... Au lieu de tout cela, j'aurais bien aimé trouver dans votre biographie de Charles Corm une confirmation de l'histoire que j'ai lue dans le dernier livre de Roger Machaalani, et qui voudrait que notre poète a reçu, en 1935, le Premier Prix du "Prix International de Poésie Edgar Allan Poe", et cela sur 124 participants venus de 14 pays différents...Je n'ai pas pu vérifier cette histoire, ni par recherche sur google, ni sur le site de la BNF, gallica! Quant à Wikipedia, elle parle du prix Edgar Allan Poe pour les romans, et non pour la poésie...Voilà une histoire qui date de moins de 80 ans, et qu'on est incapable de vérifier! Alors comment ose-t-on parler de choses qui datent de 3200 ans avec cette certitude? 4

Charles Corm - Reply
Cher Mr. Georges, Je suis le père de William à qui vous avez adressé l’e-mail. Les Corm sont mes amis, surtout Georges Junior, l’imminent économiste, prof d’université, écrivain, pianiste, ministre. Son père Georges était mon prof les enfants de Charles sont aussi mes amis. Vous avez oublié que le livre ‘Conférence’ 6000 d'histoires a été écrit il y a plus de 80 ans et que si Charles, ce grand poète était vivant il aurait admis notre thèse, vous avez pleinement raison. Einstein est contesté, Aristote aussi, les Ptolomés etc... Newton, Galilé, Copernic… C’est la rigueur scientifique. Un de mes amis, a à son actif plus de 50 ans de physique quantique et membre du Jury du prix Nobel, écrivain, il illustre ses œuvres par mes peintures, je vous invite à visiter mon site Lebanonart.com et de lire ‘les mystères de l’amour’ de Charles Corm. Ce qui m’a intéressé c’est le prix d’Edgar Poc. J’en parle à Georges et aux fils de Charles. Si vous êtes au Liban venez nous visiter. J’avais beaucoup du Melki des copains de l’école.

c_abboud
Bill Yoram
Hello, I visited OneFineArt and see the works of Abboud. I did like the choice you selected.. I respect Abboud as an Artist.. but I think the artist is taking a popularity more of what he deserves. Some paintings done by him are not so nice and more important do not have meaning... Also with my full respect of Abboud I prefer artists having strong background of technique of paintings... before arriving to be known as an abstract artist... etc... How many painters pretend to be into the new abstract movement because simply they do not learn the ABC or the first steps of painting.... Regards

dr_dahesh
Joe Ajaca
Jesus Christ
All what is exposed here for Dr Dahesh is interesting. of course Dr. Dehesh is a unique person.. and rarely people comes to this world with this gift in hands, in mind and in Spirit. But the question is why to follow him? And I don't believe that much in a way to approach all religion to be under 1 intelligent thought... It is Impossible!! Christian and the way they see God is not at all how Islam see their God. Not to mention Israeli and they are still waiting... and wait what.... Christian with the God of Redemption and Love... The God who came to save human... and to be equal to them... is not the God of Islam.. the God of words.... I will not deny that us Christian a lot of us are living not from what Jesus Christ comes to teach us.. sadly...
Yolande Bassila
Interesting... but who can proof that all this is correct... I was seeing yesterday Future TV. I admit it is a unique personality.. but that story of head being on table and the body of Dr Dahesh out.. is a pure Joke! And why we have to follow him if already we have our religions
Nouf abdulrahman
knowledge comes from reading Answer the first review. Why should we believe in him if we already have our religions? well the simplest answer is that the world evolves that's why there was pluralism christianity, and islam for instance. The truth of the prophet is that he is a true prophet not just a unique person like the 2nd review mentioned. alot of recorders and highly respected educational ppl , and writers and journalists and more have seen by ther eown eyes those miracles happen and have written it all for it to reach for people. but this belief can only be seen truley by the people that god allows them to see. tell me have u seen the christ or have u read about him, have u seen mohamed or have u read about him, this is it the only way to knw and find out wats right from wrong is to search and read and read. and as for believing in it and making daheshizm ur religion that is not required byt daheshizm wat is truley required is the act of good and honesty and morals that human beings should have! so u can be a muslim and a christian who read about daheshizm for light up there minds and conscious .i hope i wide range of people get to read this i knw little about daheshizm in terms of knowledge but im still searching and searching .
ahmad ymany
by freedom i mean SIMPLE freedom as in if you are a muslim you pray 5 times a day you can't do most things that bring humans pleasure and most of Muslims can become close minded living in such a closed world that can't accept anything but their own idea..as for Christians its pretty much the same and to say the truth i don't think this is what humans came to earth to do.. In my opinion i say Christianity and islam date back thousands of years and in a world filled with liars cheats and powers freaks.. id bet anything that they have been manipulated.... any way this article is very well written and its great for people to discover the prophecy of Dr. Dahesh

My grandmother used to tell me when I was a kid that long time ago there was a wedding in a village in Lebanon where the Bishop would preside, and the Hobeikas' were invited, as they arrived the Bishop said who are those handsome candels (Chamaa in Arabic), and since then those hobeika who attended this wedding would change their family names to Chamaa.

Father not like Son, God bless his name.... the late chouchou was so cute. I was happy to read what that site wrote about him. Khoder his son is not at all as original as his father... he is repeating what his father created. I saw his last show Waslet 99... the show is nice but repeating and imitating same play was not intelligent.. he should creates instead of copying!! Creating a comic show is better than imitating!

Dont Appreciate. Hello, I reviewed that artist in onefineart.com, I can't understand after all what that style is... ?? I understand each artist build after time of works and experience some unique style... some style... people recognize him when they see the works! Even the birds or repetitive theme the artist exposes! I don't like that much.. The last two paintings shown in the site are only accepted.

Nice colored composition
The selection of colors red, fading green, golden yellow and blue, give nice effects to your works.. and opting for large brush is also very good choice. Maybe the only negative aspect.. you must create more composition and not doing any repetition of the motive. But overall captive works! My regards for all Lebanese artists!

Appreciation
Hello, a small sentence… to tell the priest that his works are not excellent... I like the idea and the subject he chooses.. but I am sure he can makes better compostion... It is very weak
SouadCamilleri
Jean Sader's paintings are sublime. His compositions are very fresh and open. Spaces between the textured lines give the illusion of depth, allowing parts to advance to the fore while other parts recede. There is also an overall balance of colour within the paintings which is continually exciting, reminiscent of a good dancer on stage.

Braking the despotism is Arabic countries
This what happen now in 2011 in Arabic countries.... they are awake from Despotism... all From Libya to Syria, Yemen, Bahrain and very hope soon in Saudi Arabia. Poet Khalil Hawi had a deep and apocalyptic feeling. God bless him. But sadly who might benefit from all this.. is USA and Israel... . Poet Hawi would kill himself again if he see what may happen today in Arabs countries..... Hawi was dreaming all his life in a new strong middle east... (Hawi made a suicide in his end of his life when he was suffering from depression and also because of Arabs losing to Israel. When he saw Israeli troops marching in Hamra street next to his house he shot himself...

Revenez à vos sculptures
J'ai passé pour voir dans ce site les dernières œuvres de Mr Hakim. Je n'ai pas aimé ce style mix-media ou l'idée prédomine sur l'œuvre en tant que œuvres. Aussi beaucoup de couleurs et de formes pour ne pas grande choses... sa donne l'idée des universitaires dans leurs diplômes de fin d'année... bcp d’idées pèles mêles…. Aussi ce genre de mix-media ca donne à la fin un dégout malgré que le premier regard puisse attirer. Cependant quelques une les moins encombrés sont agréables et on une homogénéité. Revenez à vos sculptures... votre ancien style et travaux sont fort agréable.

m_basbous
William MATAR
Alfred Basbous, known as "Sheik El Nahhatine" (The Master of the Sculptors), started his career as a simple mason and apprentice in construction, before converting in the beginning of the sixties, to sculpture; At that time he was working with his brothers Michel and Youssef. Basbous began to master stone and wood like no one else, creating by his genius forms and beautiful shapes, full of meaning! Basbous gave his first art exhibition in 1959 in Beirut, and since that year he has launched many exhibitions of his stone and wood sculptures in various European and Arab capitals. His monumental sculptures and installations have received many prizes and decorations on both the national and international levels. His works have occupied several squares and public spaces in Lebanon, and in Arab and international museums. In 1994, the artist chaired the installation of the first international workshop of sculptures in Rashana and many symposiums were organized with the assistance of several foreign artists, Arab and Lebanese. Most of the sculptures are to be seen along the way leading to the residence of Basbous. Rashana becomes a cultural emblem of international scale, especially in 1997 after the UNESCO proclaimed the village as an international open air site of sculptures. Since 1994, groups of 20 sculptors of various nationalities have been invited each September by the Basbous family to carry out sculptures and to expose them in the village. The sculptures can be in stone or in wood but the material used must be Lebanese. The Lebanese sculptor of international repute Alfred Basbous passed away on the 1st day of 2006, in the Rashana village (north of Beirut), after a long illness. William MATAR

Glorious Time of Lebanon for Rahbani Brothers! I was visiting Lebanon during 1974... From what I remember... (My visit was one or two years before the war) and I saw the theatrical event in Baalback for Rahbani brothers. It was amazing those days of Lebanon.... I can't remember the name of the composition maybe something like "Louli"or "Leila". Lebanon was truly a jewel of the region and I hope soon Lebanon will be again in its glorious days of the past. Be the Best OnefineArt... and help Lebanon to not come back to war as it seems these days sneaking again with Palestinians hostility
Peter Arid
God bless his spirit... Rahbani was a giant of Lebanon. I was sad but happy as well... A master entering the second life! We will pray for you.

I am extremely pleased to see that something is now being posted in English on this super-intelligent pioneer of women's rights. I've been most interested in reading English translations of her writings ever since I read for the first time so many years ago, her correspondence with the great poet Kahlil Gibran. If this great poet was so enthralled with her keen intellect and her passion about her subject matters, her works are worth publishing so that the rest of the world may come to know about her. Please note that I wrote "..the rest of the world...", which includes the WEST. So, please find some way to publish her works in English, too. I'll buy all her books/writings if they are published in English. THANK YOU! :):):)

Je ne suis pas contre les films qui se tournent autour de la guerre Libanaise et même si on fait un peu d'humour sur la société Libanaise civile et religieuse. Pour moi aussi on parle et on a parlé beaucoup sur ce film que je trouve ordinaire.. ce n'est pas un film banale mais cet un film ordinaire.... Il ne faut pas exagérer est faire de Nadine Labaki comme un 'Créateur' Je suis certain qu'elle peut faire mieux. 3

Favors done to the Art
The Lebanese painting, and usually, the Art in Lebanon, the Art in all its forms, is among the most significant expressions not only of this country but also of the entire Middle East. Since the end of the 19th century and during the 20th century, which was rich in all kind of inventions, the Lebanese put a lot into their local circle that had been reproduced in their works. As the Lebanese emigration extended to other countries and had a widest view of the World, this last one seized, through the artists' intuitions, the large filed of their imagination. These new visions and techniques allowed the Lebanese to renew and rethink the Art that was before limited to their country, where they will introduce their experience of life, of rhythm, of space and of color. They will also learn from their contemporaries who represented in particular the sensibility of their time. This had been expressed in Paris, Berlin, Milan London or New York. It is a big chance for this country and its people, for the inspired bards of this country and its people to be at the cross-road of cultures and creativity. Despite the fifteen or twenty years of fights where Lebanon felt far from everything due to its vile war, violence that had been partly imposed. We can say that the Lebanese artists lived and experienced a lot in their country and inside them. They observed their surrounding sphere, understood many things and looked at the nature of the Art and of the World. I consider those artists eminent since they have begun their careers in Beirut and we all know that the most important artistic and poetic works of the Arab World was born in Lebanon. I would also like to stress on the fact that the cultural future of this country resides in an open and generous dialog between Lebanon and its Arab and Mediterranean partners. If the Art looks for outrageousness, it also lives of moderation. The moderation that the Art are searching for is its material need. A work has a cost, a price. These prices determine the big auctions that happen in the World (as Sotheby's Christie's or Drouot Hotel) and the experts and specialists appraisal. These criteria decide of the artist, the painter, the engraver and the sculptor quotation. Each year, official guides are drawn up where the auction prices of such-and-such work and of such-and-such artist are recorded. These guides constitute the compass that will help the art lovers to be familiar with the prices so they will not be victims of a wrong evaluation. The artist will also have an important idea of the place that he is occupying in the market. These guides are a benefit to everybody. In Lebanon, till now, such a compass was absent. And the auctions as described above didn't exist, the works prices were decided by amateurs or galleries, subjective appreciation, by falling in love or by sudden impulse. Why not? There is now, despite the feelings that we cannot suppress, objective requirements, as a will of rationality, a need to understand the market rules, an open market that meant to remain... The Lebanese Art will be for sure grateful of such a precious guide. From now on, artists and amateurs will be able to admire the star brilliance and to see on and through it a route and a direction.

I feel Rana that you are a delicate personality of painter working on delicate paintings. All over I can give you credit. For the Squared happy and gay colors you choose show beauty... For the illustration draw... the one showing 3 men in ties is nice... So overall is nice... But I am sure you can give better if you work more to strengthen your style. Did you tried to work abstract paintings not in arabesque or triangular form and superposition of colors…. But more through colors inside each other? All the best. 4

Lebanese fashion designer Robert Abi Nader is world top in fashion culture. He is a unique and exclusive person with creative and enjoyable aspects of working in the fashion world. His personality has captured the interest of many people inside and outside Lebanon borders. He has as well an intriguing shy and modest personality… I consider him as much important as Elie Saab or others… to not tell more... Abi Nader has no rival. Design dresses, necklaces, hairstyles, accessories and more.... I love that person.

Artist family
I wonder who inherited the late artist Rachid Wehbe? I am not hearing today anymore about that famous Lebanese artist... no exhibitions for his works.. I don't know if he has someone after his death looking for his works... I know that he married in his end of days to some lady who was working in his house first, then was considered as friend.. and she was devoted and a nice person... and she married him even he was quite old and sick... I know that her name was Samira I guess... I don't know what happy to his wife or if Mr Wehbe had any sister or brother to work after his death to keep his name alive. I respect a lot this artist. I met him few times in 1982 during the Israeli occupation of Lebanon.. and I remember he was in this time living in north of Beirut in the Christian Town Jounieh to escape the hostilities and the Israeli occupation of Beirut. God bless his soul.

A charming woman of Lebanon, I like her because she is truthful person and Sabah is so helpful for other. Maybe her life will be something to speak about specially in Arabic Islamic countries... but an artist, so devoted to her artist's life, will be difficult to her to have a regular live of family, I mean an ordinary one... I love you Sabah, your songs.. all about you. (Désolé pour mon message en anglais, je ne suis pas bonne en Anglais).

Art for life and not art for decoration. Hello Sally, Are you painting yourself through these glamour girls? Are these dreamy girls you paint reflecting the interior of the painter? It is pleasing to eyes the portraits of girls with big eyes and shinny ruby lips. However this subject of paintings you choose to paint must be concretized and executed to be more into artistic form and artistic public target… Seeing your artworks let someone forget that he is in front of paintings and artworks... and can feel instead that he is seeing a billboard made to attract maximum eyes through colored exaggerated figures… Such art can be seen as “Art for rapid billboards”… Sadly if this is the idea… it is does not let people memorize and appreciate for long times the work… a person can be tired of it in few weeks… it is same feeling as someone seeing for weeks the same billboard or an advertising on the television… whatever is attractive the ad… after a while the person will be tired and the ad will than exhaust the mind of the person. Anyway I am not criticizing your works to destroy it again there is something beautiful in your painting but you must improve a lot your style and put your mind you are painting for art... for life and not for decoration and “catch eyes”.
Fouad and Noor
Lebanese girls and flowers. We like a lot the work named Blossom.... I feel nice smells of flowers when looking at the artwork.The flowers beside the girls are so tender. The girls without the flowers are beautiful but rather sexy... with the flower they turn to be romantic. Question: Are those Lebanese girls you paint from the coffee trottoir or bars and restaurants of Beirut? Also do you know the artist Seraphim Juliana... you paint like her but with a modern approach and more colorful and vibrant brushes.

Harmonie de couleurs
Bonjour William Comment vas-tu? Je voulais te dire que les peintures de Monsieur Victor Haddad sont de toutes beauté. Les diagonales de ses tableaux sont d'une harmonie parfaite, elles annoncent les couleurs dans une déclinaison subtile et poètique. Merci pour ces peintres de talents que tu nous fais découvrir. Bonne journée Jean-Paul Mansour
Delia LaBarre
Lebanon's Sage Painter After the end of Lebanon's 15-year Civil War, Victor Haddad, among the most esteemed artists of the Arab world, embarked on a study of the land's ancient history. Poured into the crucible of his genius, his findings were transformed into a series of oil paintings in a style resembling cubism, but a cubism of time and light rather than form. As if he were working in stained glass, he pieced back the shattered country out of the collective unconscious of its people. But it is the mythical heroes and ancients who are dreaming of modern Lebanon and its people, whom Haddad reminds of their origins. In Colonia Julia Augusta Felix Berytus, Beirut's namesake slumbers on the swayed back of a mythical sea horse at the edge of the ancient unruined city. In this series, as well as in others, almost all the figures are sleeping, beckoning the viewer into their dream state. Haddad counters Goya: "The insomnia of Reason induces madness." In 2002, when Haddad's mythological/historical series was collected in a volume under the title Victor Haddad: Liban à travers les âges / Lebanon Through the Ages in Fifty-three Paintings, he was awarded letters of commendation from the President of the Republic of Lebanon, Emile Lahoud, and the Prime Minister, Rafc Hariri. Seven years earlier, Haddad had been chosen to decorate the National Palace, a commission that included the acquisition of eleven of his paintings. The following year the governor of Ras el Khayma, United Arab Emirates, invited him to decorate the Governor's Palace and acquired 20 of his paintings for the palace collection. Haddad has received numerous other prestigious awards, recognitions, and honors. His paintings have been exhibited extensively, including in Lebanon, Spain, Britain, Cyprus, and the United Arab Emerates. Haddad is currently completing a painting commissioned by the Vatican to be unveiled during the Beatification of Père Jacques Haddad (1875-1954)—a Capuchin monk, and the artist's uncle—scheduled to take place on June 22. This work promises to be as exquisitely edifying as his other historical canvases, for to view Haddad's paintings is to be, as one art critic put it, "in the presence of a storyteller, a remarkable historian." A sage who speaks silently in, and about, the sanctity of light, we would add.
Sandrine
