Zusammenfassung:One of the founders of the Faculty of Fine Arts in Damascus, Zayat (b. 1935 in Damascus, where he still lives and works) taught there until his retirement in 2000. As a painter and icon restorer, his art is influenced by religious and popular iconography. Zayat's oeuvre remains intimately concerned with the history, terrain, and psyche of his homeland. His parallel life as an art restorer and historian is evident in his rich vocabulary drawn from Byzantine, early Christian, Sufist, and popular legends. He has published several studies in the history of art and universal iconography. Over six decades of art practice are showcased in this beautifully illustrated, first-ever volume on this Syrian master artist and teacher.
