First published in 1919, “Twenty Drawings” contains a fantastic collection of artwork by Khalil Gibran, with an introduction to Gibran and his work written by Alice Raphael. Gibran Khalil Gibran (1883 – 1931) was a Lebanese-American poet, writer, and artist best known as the author of “The Prophet” (1923), which is one of the best-selling books of all time. Gibran’s work covers such themes as justice, religion, science, free will, love, happiness, the soul, the body, and death; and he is widely considered to have been one of the most important figures in Arabic poetry and literature during the first half of the twentieth century. These masterful paintings show another side of Gibran’s art, which, similarly to his world-famous poetry and prose, display a deep sense of understanding of the human condition and the beauty of the human form. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
