Their grace belies the brutal history of violence and displacement Kahraman's subjects endure, creating an oscillating effect that entices the viewer with its seductive order. The artist combines elements of Italian Renaissance painting and twelfth-century Baghdadi illuminated manuscripts to create an evocative, hybrid vocabulary. Her quietly radical shifts--where traditional Iraqi screens' geometric patterns are replaced with sections of a woman's body, or a manuscript figure is presented as doll-like parts--convey the artist's developing exploration of femininity, acculturation, and abstract patterns. Essays by Martin Daughtry, Walter Mignolo, and Octavio Zaya accompany works from all series to date, where graphic patterning attests alternately to violence and to moments of agency, community, and escape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wassan Al-Khudhairi, Walter Mignolo, Octavio Zaya\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0847862623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780847862627\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rizzoli Electa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.20h x 7.80w x 1.20d","brand":"Wassan Al-Khudhairi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989625831679,"sku":"9780847862627","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d9730734-4d45-42db-ab16-30966de8b644.jpg?v=1683300572","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hayv-kahraman-wassan-al-khudhairi-9780847862627","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
