Beirut: the Charles Corm Foundation organises a retrospective of paintings since 1979

This exhibition presents a 45-year retrospective spanning the period from 1979 to 2023. It also includes the Kafno series, painted between 1989 and 1992, and illustrating in a black atmosphere the horror of the 1980s, through scenes of Lebanon during the First World War, with its genocides and famines. Recent paintings reinterpret the themes developed in the artist's literature on heritage and its various artistic manifestations, hence the Triptychs, Icons, Cedars and Roots series, several of which use a relief technique. A number of old canvases were lost or destroyed by humidity during the war in Lebanon in the 1980s, or the war in Kuwait in 1990.
