Description
Moustapha Farroukh (1901 - 1957) is a Lebanese artist from the mountain village of Ehden. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome.
Today, he is considered a pioneer of modern art in Lebanon and helped shape Lebanese art in terms of where it stands in relation to the global art scene, being defiant of colonial ideas. Bringing the nude into the world of Lebanese art, he was interested in experimenting with the way the Levantine public would interact with such art.
Farroukh's art is known for its unapologetically realistic style in an art world that had long let go of realism. He often depicted scenes from everyday life, portraits of laborers and traditional Lebanese landscapes in his works.
