Fateh Moudarres
Syria, b. 1922 - 1999
Fateh Moudarres was one of the leaders of the modern art movement in Syria. A poet, novelist, painter and sculptor, he was well versed in art history and philosophy. Moudarres studied at Accademia di Belle Arte in Rome (1954-1960) then at École des Beaux Arts in Paris (1969-1972). Since 1967, his themes became political without losing their personal language of symbols and legends. Moudarres trained generations of artists in his classes at the College of Fine Arts in Damascus.
