Born in the mountainous town of Ehden, North Lebanon, Saliba Douaihy (1915-1994) was a Lebanese painter. Trained with Habib Srour, he obtained a grant to study at Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (ENSAD) in Paris. In 1939, he was one of the artists selected to produce large-scale paintings based on ancient history for the Pavilion of Lebanon at New York World’s Fair. Saliba Douaihy, who settled in the United States from 1950 to 1975 is considered a pioneer in the establishment of Lebanese Modern Painting. He is perhaps the only artist of this country whose corpus displays in such a clear manner an evolution from the so-called Impressionist style of the previous generation (Omar Onsi, Moustafa Farroukh and Cesar Gemayel) to radical abstraction.
