註釋"Best known in the United States as the prolific poet and essayist who authored the 1923 publication The Prophet, Lebanese American writer Kahlil Gibran viewed himself equally as an artist, producing paintings, watercolors, sketches, illustrations, and book covers as a complement to his written work. This volume brings to light over 100 of these rarely-seen artworks and uses them to tell the complex story of Gibran's life and career. Essays by curator Claire Gilman and scholars anneka Lenssen and Waïl Hassan are accompanied by written reflections on Gibran's sustained influence by Joseph Geagea, Director of the Gibran Khalil Gibran Museum in Bsharri, and three contemporary artists--Ali Cherri, Jordan Nassar, and Mounira Al Solh. This rich trove of new scholarship and writing explores Gibran's search for universal truths that transcend cultural and religious boundaries; his rejection of modernism for a uniquely egalitarian, universalist aesthetic; his deep investment in the political issues of his day; and his acutely felt responsibility to his homeland while making his way as an immigrant in a new world." --
