Mahmoud Jalal (1891 - 1975)
Mahmoud Jalal, a Libyan-born artist who has lived in Syria, presents a scene from the surroundings of a Syrian village. We recognize it from the natural terrain and cacti surrounding the architecture that is widespread in the country, especially the Mezzeh area in Damascus and the cities of southern Syria. The shadows of the cacti on the soil enhance the impression of light intensity, an aesthetic value that emphasizes the natural identity of the region.
