What does it rest on?

  • Discovering the individual self and working to raise it up.
  • The individual's pride in his new culture and his social awareness.
  • Reaching after the highest human ideals: freedom, human dignity, justice and equality, love, brotherhood and communication.
  • Passion for beauty and rejection of ugliness and backwardness.

Origin and development

  • It developed with the movements of renewal whose leader was Mutran.
  • It flourished from the third decade of the twentieth century through the school of al-Diwan, the school of Apollo and the Mahjar (emigration) school, imitating Western Romanticism.
  • It began to recede after the Second World War before the new current of realism.
