Fadag, Effat Abdullah Mohammed (2006) Saudi Arabian painting: the problem of rapid modernization in Saudi Arabia and it's effect upon contemporary art volume 1 (thesis text). PhD thesis, University College for the Creative Arts / University of Kent.

Creators:
Fadag, Effat Abdullah Mohammed
Description/Abstract:

There is virtually no existing theory specific to an aesthetic context for Saudi Arabian art. This reveals the problem inherent in reading and positioning this work in the light of the artists and critics identification as authentic product of the Saudi Arabian Kingdom. The Thesis reconsiders the position of art in Saudi Arabia, positing the work's hybridity as yet not recognized in Saudi Arabia as one of the most significant challenges for contemporary Saudi Arabian artists. The Thesis questions the authenticity that defines this work, according to the Saudi Arabian perspective. Developing an alternative perspective, the Tesis aims to define and understand the hybridity of Saudi Arabian paiting.
