Remembering Sliman Mansour
The influential Palestinian painter dies at 79, the National Museum of the American Latino is still looking for a home, and the new horse mural that’ll put a smile on your face.
Sliman Mansour, a prominent Palestinian artist, passed away at the age of 79. His work served as a staunch response to those who sought to erase Palestine from existence. Through his art, Mansour showcased the pride and dignity of his people, devoid of anger or calls for vengeance. Instead, his canvases depicted a people determined to continue living on their land. Mansour expressed his deep regret that any of his paintings had to be created at all, according to Hakim Bishara, the editor-in-chief.
