Lineation and Sculpture
This distinction was not confirmed to the oil paintings,
for what Abdul Al had achieved in lineation and sculpture was equal to what he
achieved in painting. His distinctive lineation, which carries its one
character, had become a new sign in the graphic art regarding sceptre-which he
calls an interesting game- he achieved a big progress when he introduced into it
ornamentations and fed it with colours. Most outstanding of his sculpture works
are: Fertility – A Baghdadi – The Urn Carrier – A Girl from Bait Laham – A Girl
from Ram Allah which he exhibited in Beirut and Damascus.
