{"product_id":"farid-belkahia-or-art-at-liberty","title":"Farid Belkahia: or Art at Liberty","description":"Farid Belkahia (1934-2014), considered to be one of the founders of contemporary  art in Morocco, invested from the 1960s on, in artistic research into multiple forms  of expression and a process of fundamental research into new modes of accessing  modernity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor over sixty years, he ploughed an artistic furrow punctuated by changes in direction,  challenges and audacious renewals. Advocating complete creative freedom in perpetual  reconquest, he built an opus in resonance with his natural and cultural environment. This collection of essays is the result of an initiative by the Fondation Farid Belkahia,  created by Rajae Benchemsi, the artist's wife, in order to perpetuate his work and his  memory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt brings together the contributions of the participants in the international symposium  which was held in Marrakesh, Morocco, in 2016 to mark the inauguration of the  foundation and of its museum. As an opportunity to gather different ways of looking at  and exchanging opinions around Farid Belkahia and his work, this volume proves that  as an artist he has now found his rightful place in the new account of modernity that  remains to be written.","brand":"Editions Skira Paris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42664542076964,"sku":"9782370740687","price":76.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0725\/9734\/0196\/files\/9782370740687.jpg?v=1777359304","url":"https:\/\/thamesandhudson.com.au\/products\/farid-belkahia-or-art-at-liberty","provider":"Thames \u0026 Hudson Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
