America 500 Years
''America 500 Years'' is the title of a series of paintings created in 1988-91 by Nabil Kanso in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America. The works in the series base their subjects on historical events in the Americas over the course of five centuries.〔''Nabil Kanso: The Split of Life Paintings'', pp. 103-120, NEV Editions, Atlanta, 1996〕
==Description==
''America 500 Years'' series of paintings comprise a wide range of works〔(Approximately 30 works,''Visions from America'' )〕 including 9 mural-scale paintings executed in oil applied in rhythmic succession of vigorous brushwork infusing patterns and textures of varying density with intense tones of predominantly blue-black figures set against a combination of orange, red, and yellow ground.〔(''Kanso: America series of paintings'' )〕
The compositions divide the canvas space into distinct sections within a planar layout constituting the basis for constructing a scene of separate parts offering variations of viewpoints in their contrast between subject matter and technique.〔(Visions from America )〕 The pictorial organization conveys a volumetric presence of highly condensed images in juxtaposed planes expanding their irregular shaped boundaries near the top of the canvas.〔(''America series of paintings'' )〕 The relation between them is important for an overall understanding of the picture and its meaning.
