Twenty years of sculpting celebrities and heroes

An-Nahar Arabe et International · 26 September 1985

In-depth article on the permanent exhibition hall at Amwaj, presented as the fruit of a career of more than twenty years. The text details Berberi's recurring theme: portraits of Lebanese political, literary and religious figures, including the presidents and poets he has sculpted, alongside more fantastical compositions. Four sculptures are captioned: « L'Orchestre » (The Orchestra), a piece on motherhood, « La marche des héros » (The March of the Heroes) and « Le Violoncelliste » (The Cellist). The article presents Berberi as one of the few Lebanese artists to master bronze casting in his own studio.

Original article in Arabic.
