This exquisite, oversized art monograph serves as the premier volume in a comprehensive three-part historical series dedicated to documenting the complete, standalone papyrus works of the legendary Egyptian modernist painter and sculptor Adam Henein. While globally revered for his monumental granite and bronze sculptures, Henein spent decades quietly cultivating a profound, parallel artistic practice utilizing hand-pulled traditional papyrus sheets as his primary medium. This book pulls back the curtain on those hidden masterpieces for the very first time, showcasing a vibrant collection of sixty-six brilliantly reproduced full-color illustrations that highlight his experimental use of natural pigments, mineral powders, and gum arabic. Edited by acclaimed publisher Sherif Boraïe and featuring an authoritative, deeply analytical introduction by art historian Mahmoud Zibawi, this luxury volume bridges ancient Egyptian material heritage with structural mid-century abstraction. It stands as an indispensable reference work for global scholars, curators, and collectors of contemporary Arab art.
