كِتَابٌ جَدِيدٌ يَجْمَعُ حِوَارَاتٍ مَعَ ٨٠ فَنَّانًا عَرَبِيًّا

صَدَرَ فِي الْقَاهِرَةِ كِتَابٌ جَدِيدٌ عَنْ حَجَّاجِ سَلَامَةَ. وَيَجْمَعُ الْكِتَابُ حِوَارَاتٍ مَعَ ثَمَانِينَ فَنَّانًا وَفَنَّانَةً مِنْ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ دَوْلَةً عَرَبِيَّةً.

يَتَحَدَّثُ الْفَنَّانُونَ عَنْ أَعْمَالِهِمْ وَمَصَادِرِ إِلْهَامِهِمْ. وَيُعَالِجُ الْكِتَابُ أَيْضًا عِلَاقَةَ الْفَنِّ بِالْهُوِيَّةِ وَالتُّرَاثِ.

تَخْتَلِفُ أَسَالِيبُ الْفَنَّانِينَ؛ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَرْسُمُ بِطَرِيقَةٍ وَاقِعِيَّةٍ، وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَسْتَخْدِمُ الْفَنَّ الرَّقْمِيَّ. وَيُشَارِكُ فِي الْكِتَابِ فَنَّانُونَ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَالسُّعُودِيَّةِ وَالْعِرَاقِ وَبُلْدَانٍ عَرَبِيَّةٍ أُخْرَى.

وَيَسْأَلُ الْكِتَابُ كَيْفَ يَسْتَطِيعُ الْفَنَّانُ الْعَرَبِيُّ أَنْ يَسْتَفِيدَ مِنَ الْفَنِّ الْعَالَمِيِّ، وَأَنْ يَحْفَظَ هُوِيَّتَهُ فِي الْوَقْتِ نَفْسِهِ.
