Title A name given to the resource Title not known (al-Qudsi 6) Subject The topic of the resource Abstracted Composition with Central Pale Face Description An account of the resource The most striking characteristic of this work is the exaggerated, almost grotesque, visage that holds a central position of the composition. Resting on a thin pillar, the mask-like face holds an amorphous shape with eyes, nose, and mouth floating upon it without structure. Within the background of black, orange, and white emerge lines that traverse the picture plane in a chaotic pattern only to be submerged again in the black band at the left of the canvas.

The view is obstructed, however, by a barricade of jutting beams that stop the viewer from proceeding visually into the space. Tension is created by the contrast in shape and color with the dark beams being rigidly placed against the fluid, neutral background.

Title A name given to the resource Title not known (Al-Tai 2) Subject The topic of the resource Dreamscape with Hazy Figure on Rocky Terrain Description An account of the resource This composition by Al-Tai has a dreamlike quality as the main figure appears in an ambiguous haze. The figure is set against a rocky backdrop climbing over jagged boulders. Just before reaching a solid mountain wall, the figure looks back to an unknown object outside of the picture plane. The color palette of the work adds to it surreal nature as the natural tones of the rocks are bathed in an eerie greenish glow emanating from the background.

The ascending stairways draw the viewer’s eye upwards to a circular object resembling the sun with emanating rays. Again, Al-Tai has combined the earthy tones of tans and blues with a sickly green.

Title A name given to the resource Title not known (Al-Tai 4) Subject The topic of the resource Stylized Composition with Archways and Staircases Description An account of the resource Again Al-Tai has created a surrealistic composition by placing a maze of architectural elements, archways and staircases, within an undefined space. This ambiguity creates a dreamscape in which the viewer, or dreamer, decides where the staircases lead.Each element has been overlapped into the whole through the use of angular lines. The composition is rendered in neutral tones with the blending of color becoming more prominent in the background.

The varied use of Arabic script within this composition attests to the flexible nature of the Arabic letter. Here Al-Alousy has manipulated the script into architectural forms and decoration creating the various archways that make up the composition. Al-Alousy also uses traditional Islamic abstractions with the triangular patterning found in two of the archways.

The application of paint is painterly in nature although there is a level of realism to the composition. The overall impression of the piece is one of intersecting verticality and horizontality.
