Artworks and archival documents from Lebanon's turbulent postwar years
This volume revisits a turbulent chapter in Lebanese modernism, from the 1958 crisis to the 1975 outbreak of civil war. Through 230 works by 34 artists and more than 300 archival documents, it shows how collisions between art, culture and polarized political ideologies turned Beirut’s art scene into a microcosm for larger transregional tensions.
