Item Number: 129648 Title: ETEL ADNAN : Art is One of the Roads to Paradise Author: Obrist, Hans Ulrich (ed) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9788857223551 Description: Milan: Skira, 2014. 27cm., hardcover, 640pp., 300 color illus. Exhibition held at Mathaf – Arab Museum of Modern Art, Doha. English-Arab text. Summary: Similar to nature and consisting of many dimensions, the artistic and literary oeuvre of Etel Adnan contains many different facets. Through the exploration of this artist’s multidimensionality, the book highlights the diversity in her own work. Providing an extensive overview, it includes Adnan’s paintings, drawings, leporellos, tapestries, writings and films from the 1960s onwards. Addressing a variety of concepts such as identity, war, and the dichotomy of home in her work, the artist takes inspiration from both her surroundings and her own life experiences. While Adnan views painting as expressing joie de vivre, writing is the artist’s meditation on the tragic side of the world. One important subject that is addressed in her writings is the Lebanese Civil War that lasted from 1975 to 1990. Art is One of the Roads to Paradise provides a deeper understanding of Etel Adnan’s significant oeuvre, while also giving the opportunity to explore the various developments in her work.
