Dialogues of Tradition and Modernity: The Development of an Emirati Art History

Work by artists from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), interviews and first-hand accounts form the core of this book about the development of the country’s art history. Learning about artists and seeing how their practices fit into global art historical discourses can help viewers gain insight into an art not made to be understood.
