Masterpieces – The History of a Period

A Vast Field of Humanity (80 x 100 cm – 1989)

Two dimensions, human and spatial, are associated in this work. Is this Waterloo or is it Anjar? Or somewhere else? One might have said this is a detail of a great work, one beginning with human beings and ending in the same way. The crowd fills both earth and sky and fades into the distance in a perspective that knows no horizon, into a far, far distance reaching into every heart and conscience. This is a huge plain sown with beings like flowers or ears of corn and a sky where they are like stars.

The whole universe comes into the work, while from Lebanon a gracious harmony ascends like the dawn smiling at existence. The work further expresses all the hope of the artist for a more rosy future.
