The second volume of Adam Henein’s works covers his drawing and paintings from 1954 to 2009.
“The simplicity and purity of his forms brought us closer to imagining what it would look like if Egypt had a daydream. Rather than representation, it was the essence that he was searching for. He was never far from Egypt; he was always meditating on Egypt.”
—from the introduction by Farida Youssef
Adam Henein on art:
“In my mind and heart, Pharaonic art is the most beautiful and complete of all. My love for ancient Egyptian art is not a form of national loyalty. The issue lies in the method, not in the subject or identity.”
