An extraordinary dialogue between two titans of Arabic culture
In 1998, the Syrian curator, gallerist and publisher Mouna Atassi brought together the acclaimed Syrian artist Fateh Moudaress (1922-99) and the great Arab poet Adonis (born 1930) for a public conversation that took place across four days at Atassi's gallery in Damascus.
Moudaress was famous for boldly hued paintings that merge Islamic, Sumerian, Assyrian and Christian visual traditions in a uniquely modern synthesis. Similarly, Adonis--one of the most influential figures in modern Arabic poetry--has rebelled against the tropes of traditional Arabic poetry to experiment with free verse, variable meter and prose poetry; he is responsible for a colossal poetic revolution in Arabic literature.
This extraordinary encounter between two giant figures in Arabic culture is translated from Arabic to English for the first time in this volume, which also reproduces 30 previously unseen paintings and drawings by Moudaress.

About the Author
D'abord autodidacte, Moudarres est ensuite diplômé de Accademia di Belle Arti à Rome en 1960, puis l'École Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris en 1972, avant de devenir enseignant et Doyen de la Faculté des Beaux-Arts de l'Université de Damas, où il travaillera jusqu'en 1993. Tout au long de sa carrière, il a été récipiendaire de nombreux prix et, avec Louay Kayyali, a représenté Syrie à la Biennale de Venise de 1961. Il a beaucoup exposé en solo et des expositions collectives à travers le monde, et ses œuvres peuvent être trouvées dans des collections prestigieuses telles que Mathaf : Arab Museum of Modern Art, la Fondation Barjeel, la Fondation Atassi et, à Damas, le Musée National, Ministère de la Culture et Musée Dummar.
Adonis (ou Adunis, né Ali Ahmad Said Esber en 1930 à Al-Qassabin) est l'une des figures les plus influentes de la poésie arabe moderne. Se rebeller contre les tropes de la poésie arabe traditionnelle pour expérimenter le vers libre, le mètre variable et la poésie en prose (puisant dans le néo-soufisme, le mysticisme et le rêve), il est à l'origine de une révolution poétique dont l'ampleur a été comparée à celle de ce que T.S. Eliot l'a fait pour le canon poétique anglais. Il a produit une vingtaine de volumes de poésie en plus de nombreux livres de critique, traduction et une anthologie en plusieurs volumes de poésie arabe couvrant 2000 ans de vers (Diwan ash-shi'r al-'arabi). Enfant, Adonis a fréquenté le Kuttab local pour apprendre à Etudes islamiques et littéraires. Après une rencontre avec les Syriens Le président Shukri
