Art Books
by Samia A. Halaby
Art book are works of art which mimic the book. I have used them as a way to challenge
the Rennaissance idea of a window as the frame through which we see a picture. Abstraction
is imagery seen but not through a window. It is seen over a period of time as one moves and
thinks and plans. The motion and language of our bodies enters into this art and add form
which is not seen but rather form which results from how we use our hands.
Click on any one of these pictures to see more of the book.
If you wish to know a bit about my thoughts on painting read "An Aesthetic View."
and/or the essay "Abstraction and Illusion."
To learn about me read the
"Short Biography" or the
"Long Biography" or
"The Resume."
