SUMMARY:Tribute To Abdel Hamid Baalbaki
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Karina El Helou\nThe museum honors the late Lebanese artist Abdel Hamid Baalbaki (1940–2013) in a moving tribute that celebrates his enduring connection to South Lebanon and the idea of home. Born in Odeisseh, Jabal Amel, Baalbaki drew lifelong inspiration from the land — its ochre earth, its people, and its memory — elements that became central to his artistic language.\nAfter more than three decades in Beirut, he returned to his village, where he built a home and a library of over 2,000 rare books, both reflecting his deep commitment to culture and knowledge. Tragically, his house — once imagined as a cultural landmark — was destroyed in the 2024 war, echoing the broader loss of heritage across the South.\nA painter, poet, and longtime professor at the Lebanese University, Baalbaki devoted his life to making art accessible to all. The exhibition revolves around two themes — home and the South — and features key works including his powerful mural War (1977), first shown in 1979.\nThrough this tribute, Baalbaki’s legacy lives on as a testament to identity, resistance, and belonging.\n
