The first book to include a collection of Wasif Boutros Ghali's paintings, which blends modern architecture and vibrant colours, is a statement of sophistication.
This is the first comprehensive book dedicated to the Egyptian artist Wassef Boutros Ghali (1924-2023), offering an in-depth exploration of his eventful life, the works he produced during his distinguished creative phases, and his enduring artistic legacy.Boutros-Ghali's life, practice, and style extended from Cairo, Paris, and New York, and were shaped by religion, political turmoil, a wealthy and cultured upbringing, and a life lived in multiple countries.This comprehensive catalogue, a luxuriously hardbound and elegantly boxed book with 600 color photographs, provides an unparalleled and precise chronology of his artistic development. Although Boutros-Ghali initially turned to architecture, he also practiced drawing throughout his life, combining the vibrant colors of the Modernist movements with architectural precision. His bold geometric compositions reflect a relentless pursuit of harmony, which he describes as “a visual balance between geometric shapes and colours.”
