Drawing inspiration from a range of sources, his singular artistic approach was grounded in an exploration of color theory across tile-like grids (composed of squares no more than a quarter inch high) to expand the possibilities of perception. This monograph spans Bechara's decades-long artistic career, collecting paintings, studies and mosaic works made between 1969 and 2020 that illustrate the development of his unique vision. Also included is an essay by art historian Domitille d'Orgeval, as well as an interview with the artist by curator Hans Ulrich Obrist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony Bechara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798994659618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Museo del Barrio\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Tony Bechara","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50546429460735,"sku":"9798994659618","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1d989717-7da3-4ee9-8fda-ec49b3104ce0.jpg?v=1790537159","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tony-bechara-tony-bechara-9798994659618","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
