2001: Exhibition Opening: The Centenary of Fahrelnissa Zeid

6 December 2001 – February 2002: The Centenary of Fahrelnissa Zeid, Amman. Artist Fahrelnissa Zeid (1901-1991) was born in Istanbul, Turkey and lived and worked in Jordan the last 20 years of her life. Influenced by the teachings of Roger Bissiere at the Académie Ranson in Paris, Fahrelnissa Zeid played an active part in the Paris art scene throughout the 1950's and 1960's. She displayed her work at various art galleries, including Galerie Colette Allendy (1949), and participated in numerous exhibitions organized by the French art critic Charles Estienne such as that of the "New Ecole de Paris" (1952), the Salon des Realites Nouvelles (1953), and the Salon de Mai. Following her move to Amman in 1975, the artist established the "Fahrelnissa Zeid Institute of Fine Arts," where she introduced her students to abstract art and exhibited along with them for the first time in 1981. In 1990, a retrospective exhibition of her work was mounted at the Neue Galerie- Sammlung Ludwig in Aachen and in 2006, one was held at the Istanbul Modern Museum. "Her paintings portray the parade of strange nations that migrate from one place to another; they expose - in strange lights turning to crimson - reds, blues of huge glass cases, heavy as lead coils, enveloped in violent blacks. This light resembles the fabulous lights of Gothic stained glasses. Let this thick and impenetrable wall of Eastern stained glass, which grasps one in an unknown and transparent way, be a boundless and free line conveying the latest messages of Islamic arts to French art..."
