While the term has also been used to refer to ancient art produced in the geographical region of Palestine, in its modern usage it generally refers to work of contemporary Palestinian artists. Palestine is a name which has been widely used since Roman times to refer to the region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River.
Similar to the structure of Palestinian society, the Palestinian art field extends over four main geographic centers: 1) the West Bank and Gaza Strip 2) Israel 3) the Palestinian diaspora in the Arab world, and 4) the Palestinian diaspora in Europe and the United States. The West Bank (الضفة الغربية, הגדה המערבית Hagadah Hamaaravit) also referred to in Israel as " Judea and Samaria The Gaza Strip (قطاع غزة, רצועת עזה Retzu'at 'Azza) is a coastal strip of land along the Mediterranean Sea, bordering Egypt on the south-west For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Israel topics.

Overview
Pre 1948
Most Palestinian artists during this time were self-taught, painting landscapes and religious scenes in imitation of the European style, but overall the discipline was not very developed and art exhibitions were almost unheard of. Notable artists of this era include Khalil Halaby, Nahil Bishara, Sophie Halaby and Faddoul Odeh. Sophie Halaby was an exception, in that she was educated in France where she lived and worked for years. Jamal Badran (1909-1999) was a leading artist in the Islamic style. [3]
Post 1948
The contemporary Palestinian art field has been characterized by Tal Ben Zvi as consisting of three major elements:
- Palestinian artists residing in four separate geographical territories who sustain a differentiated national cultural field despite the geographic differences;
- The absence of 'Palestinian' institutions of art studies and training throughout the world, including the Palestinian Authority;
- The absence of a historical museum infrastructure.
These characteristics lead Zvi to conclude that unlike sovereign nation-states where the art field is based on "national borders, national museums and institutes of learning, the Palestinian art field is based chiefly on artists operating within the frame of a Palestinian identity. A Gold Sovereign is a Gold coin first issued in 1489 for Henry VII of England and still in production as of 2008 For the online game see Jennifer Government NationStates. The nation-state is a certain form of State that derives its legitimacy "[1]
Palestinian artists in Israel
Ahlam Shibli, Sami Bukhari, Reida Adon, Ashraf Fawakhry, Ahlam Jomah, Jumana Emil Abboud, and Anisa Ashkar are Palestinian artists - most of whom are graduates from art schools in Israel and form part of an entire generation of Palestinians, citizens of Israel born after 1967. Ahlam Shibli (born 1970 ( احلام شبلي) is a Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel refers to Arabs or Arabic -speaking people who are Citizens of Israel who are not Jewish. Year 1967 ( MCMLXVII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar of the 1967 Gregorian calendar. [1] The issue of identity for Palestinian citizens of Israel is a key subject of importance to the artwork produced. It is an identity described by Azmi Bishara thusly:
From both the historical and theoretical perspectives, the Arabs in Israel are part of the Palestinian Arab people. Azmi Bishara (عزمي بشارة עזמי בשארה born July 22, 1956) is a Palestinian Christian politician Their definition as 'Israeli Arabs' was formed concurrent with the emergence of the issue of the Palestinian refugees, and the establishment of the State of Israel on the ruins of the Palestinian people. Thus, the point of departure from which the history of the Palestinians in Israel is written is the very point in which the history of the Palestinians outside Israel was created. One cannot point at a nationality or national group called 'Israeli Arabs' or 'the Arabs of Israel'. [1]
Ben Zvi suggests that this definition pinpoints the dialectic underpinning the identity of this group of artists who are identified "on the one hand, as part of a broad Palestinian cultural system, and on the other — in a differentiated manner — as the Palestinian minority in Israel. "[1]
Palestinian artists in Israel face a number of challenges. Art institutions in Israel, for example, are attended by a maximum of three Palestinian students per year. [1] Palestinian artists are forced to develop their artistic modes of expression in Hebrew, rather than their mother tongue of Arabic. Arabic (ar الْعَرَبيّة (informally ar عَرَبيْ) in terms of the number of speakers is the largest living member of the Semitic language The artists' Arab or Palestinian culture is not part of the curricula, and is effectively excluded, since the cultural and artistic context is a Western and Israeli one. The araB gene Promoter is a bacterial promoter activated by e L-arabinose binding Palestinian people or Palestinians ( الشعب الفلسطيني, ash-sha`b al-filasTīni; الفلسطينيون, al-filasTīnīyyūn [1] Further, the Israeli art field as a national field generally perceives the Arab Palestinian artist as foreign to the local culture, and "ultimately prevents his representation as an immanent part of the field. "[1]
Palestinian artists in the Arab world
Originating from the Palestinian culture that crystallized in the refugee camps mainly in Lebanon and Jordan, Palestinian artists in the Arab world were among the first to put forward a vision of Palestinian contemporary art. Lebanon (ˈlɛbənɒn Arabic: ar لبنان Lubnān) officially the Republic of Lebanon or Lebanese Republic (ar الجمهورية اللبنانية Jordan, officially the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (الأردنّ al-Urdunn) is an Arab country in Southwest Asia spanning the southern [1] As the Palestinian Authority became more central to Palestinian nationalism, their number and influence in the Palestinian art field has decreased, and diasporic Palestinian artists in Europe and the United States, have become increasingly prominent. [1]
One such artist whose works were exhibited in the Made in Palestine exhibit that toured the United States in 2005 is Mustafa Al-Hallaj. Year 2005 ( MMV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link displays full calendar of the Gregorian calendar. Mustafa al-Hallaj (1938 - 2002 ( مصطفى الحلاج) was born in Salama (town in the Jaffa region of British Mandate Palestine. [4]
Born in what is now Israel, Al-Hallaj is known throughout the Arab world, where he has has been described as "Syria's most famous artist" and an "icon of contemporary Arab graphic arts. "[4] Al Hallaj died in 2002 in a fire at his home while trying to save his artwork but this effort which cost him his life, meant that some of his work has survived. See also 2002 (disambiguation Year 2002 ( MMII) was a Common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. [4]
In Self-Portrait as God, the Devil, and Man, Al-Hallaj uses rows of overlapping images and intricate etchings that took 10 years to complete to present "an epic retelling of the history of Palestinians from the 11th century B. C. to the present. "[4]
