Listings Exhibitions Films Lectures Music&Dance Theatre Around the galleries Abdel-Aal Hassan On show at the Doroub Gallery in Garden City are artist Abdel-Aal Hassan's latest works -- oil paintings depicting a variety of women's faces. In Hassan's hands female beauty, a central force of inspiration for artists through the ages, acquires mythical and historical proportions. The artist is faithful to the authenticity of Egyptian features and forcefully communicates the Egyptian female spirit of earthy resilience. The Bedouin woman, the Nubian woman, the Upper Egyptian woman emerge in all their glory, each simultaneously an individual and an archetype. Reviewed by Nagwa El-Ashri
