Ces jeunes gens faisaient feu de tout bois pour écrire un chapitre libanais de l'histoire de l'art… Ils affrontaient cette urgence, convaincus qu'il existait une idée à laquelle on pouvait donner corps en rassemblant des éléments en apparence disparates, mais reliés par juxtaposition, art arabe, art musulman, art byzantin, vieil héritage des arts décoratifs en ce qu'ils présentaient une expression populaire de la tradition artisanale dont la puissance était évidente. La notion d'un art oriental était, au demeurant, vue par eux du côté européen, dans le droit fil de la lecture française de la peinture chinoise et japonaise. C'était cette différence qu'il fallait tenter de faire assumer à l'art local, afin qu'il apporte au peintre le sens nécessaire de sa propre différence par rapport à un art occidental dont il avait le sentiment d'être tyranniquement issu, et dans lequel il puisait alors, tout aussi tyranniquement, le souvenir de ses formes, sans parvenir à se libérer de leur emprise. These young people were firing on all cylinders to write a Lebanese chapter in the history of art… They faced this urgency, convinced that there was an idea that could be given substance by bringing together seemingly disparate elements, but linked by juxtaposition, Arab art, Muslim art, Byzantine art, and the deep heritage of the decorative arts, and thus presented a popular expression of the craft’s powerful tradition. Moreover, the notion of Oriental art was seen by them from a European perspective, in line with the French interpretation of Chinese and Japanese painting. It was this difference that they had to try to make local art recognize and internalise, in order to imbue painters with the sense of difference from the Occidental art from which they were tyrannically born, and from which they then tyrannically recall their forms, while still never freeing themselves from its hold.
