Der libanesische Künstler Aref el Rayess (1928–2005) schuf ein beeindruckendes, bis heute wenig erforschtes Œuvre aus Malerei, Zeichnung, Collage und Skulptur. Rayess war ein Reisender. Er lebte in vielen Ländern, saugte den Geist dieser Orte in sich auf. Seine Arbeiten spiegeln den Zeitgeist jener Epochen und Kunstszenen wider. Er war ein unabhängiger Denker, ein politischer Mensch, ein Freigeist. Zu seinen Sujets gehören die Menschen, die Gesellschaft, die Abstraktion und die Natur. Seine Handschrift und sein Malstil wandeln sich dabei ständig, bleiben aber immer eigenständig und unverwechselbar. Diese erste Monografie widmet sich der vielseitigen künstlerischen Praxis von Rayess, vor allem seiner Malerei zwischen den Jahren 1949 und 2005.

Warlords and Merchants examines the history of the Lebanese warlord/business establishment and illuminates local attitudes, which have often seemed baffling to the outside world. The book provides a close-up study of Lebanese leaders and the business class. It provides a seminal illustration of and insight into the resistance of local cultures and small countries such as Lebanon to the juggernaut of globalization. Based on firsthand observations and knowledge of Lebanese history, economy, language and culture, the author deals here with most of the issues that vex Lebanon today - sectarianism, traditional leadership, outdated business practices, an archaic economic structure and a deep sense of historical grievances. Warlords and Merchants is a must-read for policymakers, business and political leaders, as well as students and academics with research interests in Lebanon, the Middle East and international affairs.
