Aref El Rayess
1928–2005
Painter, sculptor, writer and one of the most independent voices of Lebanese modernism. Across six decades and four continents, Aref El Rayess made work that never stood still: from the portraits of Casamance to abstraction, political painting, monumental sculpture and collage.
The Aref El Rayess Foundation protects, preserves and promotes his legacy.
