AMER FATUHI’s ARTWORK

The Summer Cover for the MultiCultural Review

MultiCultural Review, an American academic magazine, chose Amer Hanna Fatuhi’s artwork for its front cover in its 2009 summer issue which featured Weam Namou’s article, “The Concealed Gift of our Society: The United States Gives Iraqi Artists a Voice,” proving that despite the threats and assaults made upon it, the Iraqi culture keeps thriving.

The article featured five prominent Iraqi-born artists, one of whom was Mr. Amer Fatuhi. The painting, entitled Fleeing Paradise, is part of Fatuhi’s upcoming art exhibition “Iraq … Love, Death, & Beyond.” Throughout the years, Fatuhi has made great contributions to the continuous revival of the Iraqi culture, while always paying homage to his Chaldean (native Iraqi) heritage.  No doubt he will continue to do so in the future.

The other artists featured in the article were Issa Hanna Dabish (1919-2009), Paul Batou, Nadwa Qaragholi, and Farouk Kaspaules.

Congratulations to Mr. Amer Hanna Fatuhi and special thanks for the artistry of the rest of the artists.
