Art is the buzzword of communication. Paintings
have become vital as a form of interaction in a rapidly moving
world. Today, it is the visual images that speak out. They
disseminate the message as fast as light.
In contemporary Arab societies, visual art has come to occupy
a crucial place in the field of creativity and intellectual
exploration. The emergence of this new mode of pictorial expression
adopted by the Arabs has brought about numerous changes since
the beginning of the century, and led to the concept of modernism.
Today, art has a significant role in the study of the sources
of creativity in present Arab societies at every level, that
include the aesthetic and ideological. The artist, as an individual
creator with a specific style and mode of expression, has
sought to drive his message across to his audience and all
those interested in art.
Irrefutably, Arab art is expressed in a visual language, emanating
from the interdependence of various cultures which are born
from the movement of different people from the world. The
combined cultural influence of Europe, Africa and Asia has
reflected sophistication and adornment.
