Summary: "Kamal Boullata offers the first insider's study of Palestinian art. The only authoritative account in English yet published, this scholarly analysis presents insights into the development of Palestinian art before and after the cataclysmic events of 1948 during which Palestinian society was uprooted and dispersed." "The book covers artists using conventional studio techniques such as painting, sculpture and mixed media, as well as younger artists employing tools such as video, photography and installation. With a preface by John Berger, and over 200 colour and black and white illustrations, this compendium is essential for the expert and enlightening for the general reader."--BOOK JACKET.
