How did Modern Arab art develop? How did Arab artists contribute to the art scene in Paris? These are some of the questions explored in a major new exhibition at the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris next year. “Paris has often been described as an Arab capital,” says Morad Montazami, the co-curator of the exhibition. The show will be chronological and split into four sections: Nahda (1908-37), Farewell to Orientalism (1937-56), Decolonisations (1956-67), and Art and Struggles (1967-88).
