The Artist: " Basel Maqousi was sitting on the floor, by a corner of a
room at Darat al Funun, deeply absorbed by a small sketch he was
executing, I went to him and stood quietly by to look at his work,
he was drawing ladders. I was surprised by his simple choice of
subject matter, and admired his manner of execution, and it's fidelity
to art, away from descriptive narratives or superficial ornamentation.."
".. After the ladders, came landscapes and portraits, affirming
the artists identity and his understanding of color and shape. He
linked them to the surface and space of the painting, in an independent
work that linked the part to the whole, and the whole to the part."
