Fateh Moudarres

Fateh Al Moudarres (1922 — 1999) was a Syrian painter and one of the leaders of the modern art movement in Syria. Initially self-taught, Moudarres later studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, where he was influenced by Surrealism. After he completed his studies he returned to Syria where he grew and honed his skills under the auspices of long-time friend, mentor, and tutor Wahbi Al-Hariri, who nourished a generation of Syrian and Arab artists and architects.

Biography

Born in Aleppo, Syria, Fateh Moudarres originally taught himself realist techniques before becoming interested in Surrealism. He then studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome from 1954 to 1960 and developed a distinctive style of painting that incorporated both movements. He abandoned the religious iconography and Syrian Art references of his early work for non-objectivity in the 1960’s. After 1967 however, his work took on political themes. Moudarres studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris for three years in the early 1970’s, and honed his technical and compositional skills. Teaching at the University of Damascus has allowed him to exert a tremendous influence on young Syrian artists.Currently the largest private collection of the works of Fateh Moudarres is kept by Mokhless Al-Hariri, son of syrian artist, Wahbi Al-Hariri of the Al-Hariri Family.
