Jumana Husseini
Palestine, b. 1932 - 2018
After moving from Jerusalem to Beirut in 1948, Jumana Husseini trained in painting, ceramics and sculpture while majoring in political science at the American University of Beirut and the Beirut College for Women (later to become Lebanese American University) during the 1950s. Husseini’s well-balanced abstract compositions, in transparent layers, intercepted with calligraphic symbols in graded hues, betray a high degree of skilful technique and maturity.
