Spanning Cairo, Paris and New York, Boutros-Ghali's life, practice and style were shaped by religion, political upheaval, an affluent and cultured upbringing, and a life lived across multiple countries. This catalogue raisonné, a hardcover packaged in a beautiful slipcase with 600 color images, gives a definitive and incomparable timeline of his artistic evolution. Though initially steered toward architecture, Boutros-Ghali also painted throughout his life, fusing modernist movements' vibrant color fields with architectural precision. His bold, geometric compositions reflect a lifelong pursuit of harmony―what he described as a \"visual equilibrium of geometric shapes and colors.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Skira","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68097613496629,"sku":"9788857253664","price":75.0,"currency_code":"KWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/4157\/3429\/files\/51nrrTJ7BcL._SL1200.jpg?v=1794221116","url":"https:\/\/capbookshop.com\/products\/wassef-boutros-ghali-catalogue-raisonne","provider":"CAP BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
