Download or read book The Art of Madi written by Hussein Madi and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art of the painter, sculptor and printmaker Hussein Madi has been viewed by thousands of people around the world at such venues as the British Museum, the Venice Biennale and Tokyo's Ueno Museum. However, it has never before been made available as a published retrospective. This long-overdue book contains an invaluable overview of Madi's work of four decades, in which his intensely personal fusion of European and Islamic influences always presents itself with a force that is both arresting and subtle. Madi's joyful experiments in colour and form have resulted in a unique body of work that relates to modern artists like Matisse and Picasso as well as to the principles of divine harmony that inform the abstract designs of Islamic art. Whether in two or three dimensions, Madi's lines sing with a spontaneous freedom that belies the careful, even exacting, calculations that the artist invests in each work. This combination of meticulousness and sensuality is everywhere evident in Madi's work, inspired by his profound belief in "God's universal order, in which everything is different and yet composed of the same cosmic elements." A tireless and highly prolific artist, Madi has achieved a lifetime output of virtually countless works in a variety of media. This book--with over 500 colour plates--will serve as a touchstone for both long-time admirers and initiates to his oeuvre.
