In April 1968, ten months after the Arab defeat of the 1967 June War, Aref El-Rayess's Dima' wa Hurriyya (Blood and Freedom) opened to the public in the exhibition hall of the L'Orient newspaper headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon. The 5th of June, or, The Changing of Horses, a realist mural painting on canvas, was the exhibition's centerpiece. With this artwork, El-Rayess declared his commitment to national liberation and socialist revolution. The Changing of Horses was presented and received as an allegory of political commitment, but the slips, silences, and repetitions in the public reception point to its excessive, disturbing, and fundamentally uncanny character. In the first comprehensive study of the work, Natasha Gasparian weaves together a social art history from the artist's writings, exhibition reviews, guestbook comments, personal correspondences and testimonies, as well as social, political, and aesthetic shifts, particularly as they related to the debates on commitment (iltizam) in the aftermath of the June 1967 war. By attempting to reconstruct this history of the artwork and tracing the caesuras in the discourse around it, Gasparian exposes the social antagonism that is repressed and obfuscated in the idealized narrative sustained by El-Rayess and his audiences. She argues that the oversight in the reception - the critics' and audiences' inability to see - attests to the delay in grasping the work historically and signals its avant-gardism.

"In the late 1960s, at the age of thirty-nine, Huguette Caland (b. Lebanon, 1931; d. 2019) left her husband and children in Beirut and relocated to Paris to pursue a career as an artist. Huguette Caland: Tête-à-Tête brings together over a hundred works from the five decades that followed to show how Caland used the candidness and mutability of the drawn medium to explore sensuality and challenge taboos associated with the representation of the human form. Featuring new scholarship by curator Claire Gilman, cultural theorist and art historian Hannah Feldman, and a conversation between artist Marwa Arsanios and author Mirene Arsanios, this comprehensive volume foregrounds Caland's celebration of the vitality of the human body and spirit."--back cover.
