Farroukh - lower right oil on canvas 50 x 40cm; 19.6 x 15.7in 54 x 45cm; 21 1/4 x 17 3/4in (framed) Painted in 1945 Property from a Private Collection, London Provenance Agial Art Gallery, Beirut, 2012 Moustafa Farroukh was formally trained in Rome and graduated from Accademia di Belle Arti. He proceeded to Paris and continued further studies under the guidance of Paul Emile Chabas, the president of the Society of French Artists. During his successful but short career, he exhibited in Paris, Venice, New York and Beirut. In his studio in Beirut, he established a permanent exhibition of his work. Farroukh travelled through Spain in the early 1930s where his appreciation of Arabic art and architecture had a long-lasting effect on his artistic touch. Farroukh became highly regarded as a Lebanese national painter at a time when Lebanon was asserting its political independence. His work was applauded for its representation of real life in Lebanon through pictures of the country, its people and its customs, capturing their spirit and character. Farroukh wrote five books and taught art at the American University of Beirut and lectured in various academies. He joined the group of philosophers, thinkers, and literati who lectured in the renowned Al Nadwa gatherings or Le Cénacle Libanais. In 1954, he was awarded the 'Order of Merit', and the 'Order of the Cedar' by the Lebanese government. In 1974, he was featured posthumously on a Lebanese airmail postage stamp in recognition of his work.

Moustafa Farroukh (Lebanon, 1901-1957) Au Crepuscule oil on canvas, framed signed (lower left), executed in 1930 65 x 50cm (25 9/16 x 19 11/16in). FOOTNOTES Provenance: Property from a private collection, Beirut Acquired directly by the above from the Estate of the Artist Notes: The original version of this painting is in the permanent collection of the Mussee D'Orsay: Paul Chabas, Au Crepuscule, vers 1905, Numéro d'inventaire: LUX 680 This rare and intriguing nude by Moustafa Farroukh is the artists reproduction of a famous painting by the same name. The original "Au Crepuscule" was painted by renowned late 19th century french artist Paul Chabas, who was Farroukh's tutor and mentor during the artists stay in Paris in the 1930's The work depicts a nude girl or young woman standing in the shallow water of a lake, prominently lit by the moonlight. She is leaning slightly forward in an ambiguous posture, which can either be read as straightforward portrayal of the protecting her modesty, or can be interpreted more sexually, as an eroticisation of her innocence. Female nudes were the dominant subject of painting in French Salons at the end of the 19th century. Female models had become more common than male ones beginning in the early 19th century, first serving allegorical roles or as muses, but eventually becoming models in their own right. In academic art, such as that of Chabas, the models were not portrayed as they were, but as idealized nudes, based on classical ideals.

Moustafa Farroukh (Lebanon, 1901-1957) View of Zaarour oil on canvas, framed executed in 1947 42 x 61cm (16 9/16 x 24in). FOOTNOTES Moustafa Farroukh's art is inextricably linked to the landscape and scenery of his native Lebanon. As an artist who studied in the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, and an academic whose intellectual contribution to the development of Lebanese art was profound, Farroukh's paintings act as a synthesis of traditional Lebanese subject matter and a distinctly European composition. He was formally trained in Rome and graduated in 1927 from Rome's Royal College of Fine Arts. He proceeded to Paris and continued further studies under the guidance of Paul Émile Chabas, the president of the Society of French Artists and many other French artists. Over his prosperous career, he exhibited in venues from Paris, Venice, New York and Beirut. In his Studio in Beirut, he established a permanent exhibition of his artwork in 1932. Farroukh's stylistic influence clearly hark to the naturalistic and early impressionist movements of the nineteenth century, yet his landscapes are ultimately defined by their devotion to the Lebanese sensibility. His warm rural depictions and use of gentle, unimposing scenery depict a calm and charming Lebanon. The use of fluid and elegant cloudscapes lend a sense of character and life to his scenes. Farroukh's role as an academic and intellectual contributor to the artistic fields in Lebanon is also highly noteworthy. To spread the knowledge of Fine Arts in Lebanon he started teaching at the American University of Beirut, and lectured at the Cenacle Libanais. As a result of his achievements Farroukh received First Prize of the President of the Republic for the year 1955, the Lebanese Order of Merit, and the Order of the Cedar.
