Ibrahim El-Salahi is one of the most influential figures in
Sudanese modern art. Through his extraordinary artwork and
remarkable writing and art criticism, he has made foundational
contributions to the modernist movements in Africa and the Arab
world. In his paintings, drawings, and illustrations, he engages
with an array of traditional African, Arab, and Islamic visual
sources as well as European art movements. His unique style
transcends geographic and cultural boundaries and has inspired
artists in Sudan and elsewhere in Africa for generations.
El-Salahi's art offers profound possibilities for understanding
African and Arab modernisms and repositioning them within the
context of a broader, global modernity. This book brings together
more than five decades of his work, tracing a personal journey that
originates in Sudan and leads to the artist's international
schooling, his detention as a political prisoner in his home
country, his self-imposed exile in Qatar, and his current life in
the United Kingdom.
Salah M. Hassan is director of the Africana Studies and Research
Center and professor of African and African Diaspora art history at
Cornell University. Other contributors include Sarah Adams, Chika
Okeke-Agulu, Iftikhar Dadi, Hassan Musam and El-Salahi.
