AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This lot concerns a rare, monochrome lithograph by Jamil Hamoudi, one of the absolute pioneers of modern Iraqi art and a key figure within the Hurufiyya movement.
The print, titled "حمائم لبنان" (The Doves of Lebanon), presents a dynamic, early-modernist composition. Cubist influences, flowing geometric lines, and smooth abstract forms merge here in a characteristic way into a powerful visual whole.
This specific exemplar is richly signed, underscoring its museum and historical value. Centrally under the image lies the handwritten pencil signature of the artist with the rare annotation "Paris 1952." This marks the exact period during which Hamoudi lived in Paris, studied at the École des Beaux-Arts, and laid the foundation for the synthesis between the Arabic visual language and Western abstraction.
Artist: Jamil Hamoudi (Iraq, 1924–2003)
Title: حمائم لبنان / The Doves of Lebanon (Eng: Doves of Lebanon)
Year: 1952
Provenance: Paris, France
Technique: Lithography on paper
Signature & Inscriptions: Entirely hand-signed and dated in pencil at the lower center: "Jamil Hamoudi / Paris 1952" In the stone signed in Latin script: "J. Hamoudi '52" (lower left) In the stone signed in Arabic script: "جميل حمودي" (lower right)
Title in the stone in Arabic script: "حمائم لبنان" (far lower right)
Dimensions (framed): About 44 x 36.5 cm (image size, excluding mat/mount).
Frame: Framed in a sleek, black minimalist wooden frame with a high-quality mat. The back is solidly and professionally sealed and equipped with a hanging eye.
Condition: The lithograph is in very good, original condition. The transitions, contrasts, and fine graphic details in the stone print are sharply and clearly preserved. The paper shows a light, even discoloration that is entirely characteristic and normal for the age of the work. The presentation in the frame and mat is well arranged and provides excellent protection.

Carefully packed and shipped.
