Lassaâd Metoui, calligrapher, has evolved his practice towards a contemporary plasticity. A major artist in this discipline, he draws his inspiration from Eastern art as much as from the great figures of Western art (Delacroix, Matisse, Picasso, Kandinsky). This book brings together for the first time 150 of the artist's works, oils on canvas, inks on paper, and his sketchbooks. An introduction by David Foenkinos, a longtime friend of the artist, and contributions by Bruno Duborgel, Alain Rey, Sheila R. Canby, Venetia Porter, and Éric Delpont shed light on this poetic and singular work. "The forms call for reflections, the colors seem to speak to us, whispering some intimate bursts to our hearts. His entire work is based on an incessant conversation between the mind and the heart, the earthly and the celestial." David Foenkinos.
