Fateh Moudarres (Syria, 1922-1999)The Three Graces oil on canvas, framedsigned 'Moudarres' and dated '65' (lower right), executed in 1965200 x 115cm (78 3/4 x 45 1/4in).Footnotes:Provenance:Property from a private Lebanese collectionThe present work is a stunning, monumental rendition of a popular artistic subject matter by Syrian artist Fateh Moudarres. In Greek mythology, the Graces were the three goddesses of charm, beauty, nature, human creativity, goodwill, and fertility. The usual roster, as given in Hesiod, is Aglaea ('Shining'), Euphrosyne ('Joy'), and Thalia ('Blooming'). Moudarres weaves these figures, who have been depicted by centuries of renowned and accomplished sculptors and painters, into the stylistic framework of his own individual artistic styleThe present work embodies all of the prominent features of Moudarres oeuvre: use of rich, earthly, ochre hues characterizing the rural palette of his native Syria, depictions of totemic, angular figures recalling the art of primitive Mesopotamia, and huddled groups, clinging to each other with a mixture of affection and anxiety.Moudarres has been broadly classified as a painter within the expressionist tradition, accordingly, his mysterious figurative depictions are animated almost entirely by subjective experiences and esoteric perceptions of his natural environment.The product of a fragmented family, Moudarres' yearning for domestic fulfilment is writ large in his works, which often revolve around sympathetic depictions of family units closely clustered together. Moudarres' sentiments are channelled through the aesthetic of ancient Mesopotamian reliefs and Neolithic statuary, an apt visual language given early arts fixation on the primitive subject matters of fertility, vitality and tribal solidarity.Its liberal application of paint gives it a tactile and almost gestural quality. In place of Moudarres' usually crowded canvases, this is notable in placing compositional centrality on the three main figures depicted. Vibrant, lyrical and exemplary, the present work demonstrates the expressive finesse characteristic of Moudarres' oeuvre.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Dia Azzawi (Iraq, born 1939)The Seven Golden Odes (The Mu'allaqat) silkscreen print in eight parts in original folio and caseeach print signed 'Dia Azzawi', titled and dated '1978' in Arabic, each print numbered 46/60, executed in 1978Each print: 103 x 72 cm (8)Footnotes:A HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER AND INTACT FULL SET OF DIA AZZAWI'S MU'ALLAQAT Provenance:Property from the collection of Alecto Editions1. Introduction2. Mu'allaqat Imru Al Qayess3. Mu'allaqat Lubid Ibn Rabia4. Mu'allaqat Tarafa Ibn Al Abd5. Zuhair Bin Abi Sulma6. Mu'allaqat Antarra Ibn Shaddad7. Mu'allaqat Amr Ibn Kalthoum8. Mu'allaqat Al Hareth ben Halza'Oh you long night! Will you not yield to the dawn?Though daylight, like the night.. bears its share of worriesWhat an interminable night you are! As if the stars were bound to the mountains by the tightest of chords... or as though the Pleiades were hung, unmoving in their place by ropes tied to solid rock'- Muallaqat ISpectacularly detailed, rich and intricately worked, Bonhams presents a rare, intact and unopened full set of Dia Azzawi's famed Muallaqat prints; a homage to a group of seven long Arabic poems that are considered some of the defining literary works of the pre-Islamic era. The name means The Suspended Odes or The Hanging Poems, the traditional explanation being that these poems were hung on or in the Ka'ba at Mecca. The name Mu'allaqāt has also been explained figuratively, as if the poems 'hang' in the reader's mind.The Hanging OdesIn the eighth century, Hammad al-Rawiya—Iraq's last reciter of tribal poetry—compiled these timeless Hanging Odes. Hammad al-Rawiya, last of the true rawis or reciters of tribal poetry, was renowned among the newly urbanized Arabs of Damascus and Baghdad for declaiming poems he had heard recited by the Bedouin of the Arabian heartland. In the latter half of the eighth century he put together a collection of seven remarkable poems known collectively as the Mu'allaqat, or Hanging Odes.The Hanging Odes have always been shrouded in mystery. Legend tells that in the sixth century, some years before the rise of Islam, the poems were transcribed in letters of gold on the finest Egyptian linen and suspended from the Ka'ba in Mecca as trophies during the Sacred Months of Peace, when the Bedouin laid down their arms and went on their annual pilgrimage to the fairgrounds of 'Ukaz, near Mecca. Rival clans mingled in the marketplace, and, when not feasting or buying and selling wares, gathered round as the rawis swayed and pitched their lines to the rapt audience.The image of pagan poetry hung from the holy shrine of the Ka'ba serves to bind the ancient world of desert lore to Islam, and the poets themselves — Imru al-Qays ('the Vagabond Prince'), Tarafa ('the One the Gods Loved'), Zuhair ('the Moralist'), Labid ('the Man with the Crooked Staff'), Antara ('the Black Knight'), Amr Ibn Kulthum ('the Regicide'), and Harith ('the Leper') — have passed into legend, each lapped in a vast oral tradition.The Mu'allaqat are the most famous — and among the earliest — examples of the qasida (commonly translated as 'ode'), a form that frequently runs to some hundred and twenty lines. The term may derive from the root qasada, meaning 'to aim' or 'go forward,' or else from qasar, 'to break,' in reference to the mandatory division of the line into two rhythmically equal halves — a binary thrust and parry not unlike the alliterative line in Anglo-Saxon verse.The seven Mu'allaqat, and also the poems appended to them cover a vast array of topics. Tarafa's long, for example, anatomically exact description of his camel was a charming representation of the importance of this domesticated beast in the daily life of the Bedouins. In the Mu'allaqat of 'Amr and Harith we can read the haughty spirit of the powerful chieftains, boastfully celebrating the splendors of their tribe. The other poems are fairly typical examples of the customary qasida, the long poem of ancient Arabia, and bring before us the various phases of Bedouin life. In the Mu'allaqat of 'Antara, whose heroic temperament had overcome the scorn with which the son of a black slave-mother was regarded by the Bedouins.Azzawi's illustrated depiction of the Muallaqat is one of the most vibrant and richly composed examples of the artist's fascination with Iraq and the Arab world's pre-Islamic history and its influence on contemporary visual culture.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ARAR Goods subject to Artists Resale Right Additional Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
