Fusing modern architecture and vibrant colors, the first compendium of Wassef Boutros-Ghali's paintings is a statement of sophisticationThis is the first comprehensive book dedicated to Egyptian artist Wassef Boutros-Ghali (1924-2023), offering an in-depth exploration of his storied life, the works produced across his distinct creative phases and his enduring artistic legacy. Spanning Cairo, Paris and New York, Boutros-Ghali's life, practice and style were shaped by religion, political upheaval, an affluent and cultured upbringing, and a life lived across multiple countries. This catalogue raisonné, a hardcover packaged in a beautiful slipcase with 600 color images, gives a definitive and incomparable timeline of his artistic evolution. Though initially steered toward architecture, Boutros-Ghali also painted throughout his life, fusing modernist movements' vibrant color fields with architectural precision. His bold, geometric compositions reflect a lifelong pursuit of harmony--what he described as a "visual equilibrium of geometric shapes and colors."
