Short Bibliography of Modern Arab Art

Page: 2

Introduction: This bibliography is based on my research in the following libraries: University of Oslo, Library, Institute du Monde Arabe - Paris, American University of Cairo, Cairo University Library, ‘Ain Shams University Library - Cairo, Birzeit University Library - Ramallah, Great Cairo Library and in different colleges of art and art-education under Helwan University in Cairo. I am indebted for the generous help and support I have received from the staff of these institutions. I have the following limitations to my work: This bibliography will reflect only the major works published in this field. I have not included any unpublished theses, I have not included articles and reviews neither from magazines nor newspapers. I have only to a very limited degree included exhibition catalogues. Smaller books or pamphlets are included only if they are of any substancial importance. I hope this short bibliography will be useful for students and researchers who wish to study the culture, art and society in the Middle East. Hopefully it can also be useful for others than art historians. The titles of Arabic books have been translated to English by me. Subtitles and spelling of names in different languages have been rendered as they appear. Titles that appear only in a European language reflect the language of the actual book. The text is in Arabic if the tittle is given in Arabic unless nothing else is stated in the notes. The names of the authors and artists may often appear in many different transliterations. I have chosen the most commonly used form, and tried to render it as correct as possible. The letter ‫ غ‬-ghayn is transliterated as gh, not as g, which also may bee used. A dot under the letter is used to mark the emphatic consonants and a bar over a vowel is used to mark a long vowel-sound. Some anomalies from traditional transliteration may occur on proper names: ‫ ج‬is often transcribed as g - not j - in Egypt, and ‫ ق‬is often transcribed as g - not q - in the Maghreb countries. Intial ‫ع‬ َ with fatha like in ‫ ﻋَﻠﻰ‬are placed under a, ‫ع‬ ِ with kasra under i or e.
