Saloua Raouda Choucair ((アラビア語:سلوى روضة شقير)), born in 1916 in Beirut, is a Lebanese painter and sculptor. She was the first abstract artist in Lebanon though she sold nothing there until 1962. ==Life and Work== She started painting in the studios of Lebanese painters Moustafa Farroukh (1935) and Omar Onsi (1942). Her exhibition in 1947 at the Arab Cultural Gallery in Beirut is considered to have been the Arab world's first abstract painting exhibition. } In 1948 she left Lebanon and went to Paris, where she studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts〔 and attended Fernand Léger's studio.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Tate Modern )〕 In 1950, she was one of the first Arab artists to participate in the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles in Paris〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=One Fine Art )〕 and had in 1951 a solo exhibition at Colette Allendy's gallery, which was better received in Paris than in Beirut. In 1959 she began to concentrate on sculpture,〔 which became her main preoccupation in 1962.〔 In 1963, she was awarded the National Council of Tourism Prize for the execution of a stone sculpture for a public site in Beirut.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Who's Who amongst Arab Women )〕 In 1974, the Lebanese Artists Association sponsored an honorary retrospective exhibition of her work at the National Council of Tourism in Beirut.〔 In 1985, she won an appreciation prize from the General Union of Arab Painters.〔 In 1988, she was awarded a medal by the Lebanese government.〔 A retrospective exhibition organized by Saleh Barakat〔 〕 was presented at the Beirut Exhibition Center in 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Beirut Exhibition Center )〕 Choucair's work has been considered as one of the best examples of the spirit of abstraction characteristic of Arabic visual art, completely disconnected from the observation of nature and inspired by Arabic geometric art. Choucair recently received a prestigious honorary doctorate from the American University of Beirut (May 2014)〔http://www.aub.edu.lb/news/2014/Pages/hd-grad-14.aspx〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saloua Raouda Choucair」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
