in vietnam once. so i gone the old capital of south vietnam at its heart is lamb sewing, square journalist, diplomat, military staff, and spies, rub shoulders in its famous hotels during the vietnam war. i was assigned to yet by the associated press. and i arrived june 962. the caravel hotel burst under the headline in november 1963, when there was a number to recruit 8, which led to the assassination of the president and his brother. in over 24 hour period. the center of saigon was zone. the press retreated in effect that the caravel hotel. and many of the story is mentioned we were saying was from the care of

the for centuries artist kept to record of the history of humanity through arch. we've learned the way ancient civilization lived. how wars were fought, how political change to place. her societies were oppressed and how they rose to freedom. one of the modern world longest running unresolved conflicts is the struggle of the palestinian people. many policy and artists have devoted their lives to portray and convey their reality. one of the most prominent painters, islam, and months old, born in 1947 in brazil, palestine a year before the establishment of the state of israel. masood studied fine arts in jerusalem, growing up under occupation. his work 1st gained recognition at the age of 26, with the peace camel of hardship portraying an elderly, bent over porter,

struggling to carry jerusalem on his back. and never sinned his work depicting the policy and struggle and culture has travelled the world from him alone to london, to new york. now, at the age of 75, has he lost hope peace will ever come. i'm stephanie decker and my love in the occupied west bank. solomon my food is regarded by many as one of the master artists of the 1st intifada. the 1st palestinian uprising. and it's here in the studio where brushes will paint and even mud portray mister months, who did the vision of the palestinian people there passed their present and their future, the burden they carry and their ongoing struggle policy and artist, my, my food talks college i filaments who thank you so much for talking to al jazeera usually starts in the beginning of

your career. i want to talk about the present. i want to ask you how you would describe yourself as an artist, how you would describe your body of work so far. to be very difficult and very interesting, you know, the problem in the occupied territories is that it's full of the ideas mean full of contradictions. and that's very interesting. so i consider my work as part of the for the student life because it reflects that life and reflects on so the feelings that people, i hope so. so that's my elk. i don't know what would have done if there was no occupation or if i was living in switzerland example or in germany. but the affected me

a lot and affected my out. so this is very much also a personal documentation of your personal journey to this part of the people and when, when i left a cake, the experiences reflect my own experience of what is changed over the decades in the sense of the ground has changed. politics has changed, situation is changed, has not been reflected in your work as an artist, i think is something i feel the difference between one time and the other. but the main thing that happened here that the feeling changed. you know, in the seventy's is there were, there was a lot of the 40, there was a lot of hope for, for the future. and people were helping each other he left of

the 3 work. but then when the peer or game, when the p p and a started, all the feelings were lost. people change. i mean the attitude to live that attitude to the patient, attitude to all everything changed. they were much more. i believe they were much more clean out, they were much more sincere in the seventy's and they said you could find a volunteer work in municipalities in the universities and 3, it's everywhere. and people helping each other, especially in the fist into father could see that feeling enough that the opposite and every one along i'm in fighting for had on

and tell us which is okay, but it's too much in them. and there is no volunteer work out there belonging to the society. you're talking about. hope the people have change in the seventy's. have people last hope over the decades. have you felt that due to the political situation on the ground and has that been reflected in your work? how, how was that changed? was that all the hope and on the part of the hope that the have and it in the seventy's and it is but until the recent events in all, when people saw the demonstrations and the whole world. and man, man, among pacino's, living in israel, that is a lot of the hope among the people and hope

tent still, i didn't do any work off of that, but i'm sure the next will will deal with this kind of feeling. you are an artist. what is art for you is? is it a form of release? is it a form of diary? are you trying to give a message? how would you describe what it, what it does for you inside paint? i think all of us have kind of i believe in our tuition, well, when you don't have the homeland, when you don't have the i mean it can't be a political thing. and when people deny your existence on many, many places and noticed they, they deny your existence. so the form of the thing that we are here, we are living here. we have long group and that gives

all my think to the homeless the seems you used in your work. i do think that we just have a few of them around us here, but there is a very there is like we think it conveys strong emotions. i think looking at your work, it's difficult not to feel like what kind of message like look for example, this one. there's a lot of embrace in your work. usually is element of men here in my work. i use the symbol of the woman to reflect some of those things in one of them is that of edition that was in the eighty's and 70 now resembles the homeland resembles the land. palestine is hugging the philistine and people enter on the more or less like that

i think to, to, to put the feeling of belonging among the listing. people is very important because without that we have lost every policy. no. should there be kind of long to, to go to the policy now people to the policy and homeland to the policy. the problem may be not to give all his life but or her life. but some, some of it you use different methods, let's say during the 1st and the father, he started using more mud the land in terms of creating there's one painting i saw on your instagram called absent presence. and you have 2 figures and most of them are describe it to me like a cracked mud and then you just have their feet that is still sort of very powerful

. and during the 1st intifada, i thought that that because the idea of the pheasant there was 2 boy kept in the production from so i have 4 natural materials. i don't been started working with my work for 4 and much like 15 years intensively. and then i went back to painting in my career like and oil, and sometimes they have ideas and months still work in mud. but sometimes i mix the 2 together. i do mud and then i continue to work in critical oil. and depending on what does much convey, now mud is very sympathetic. i mean if it's symbolic, florida human beings, it's symbolic for land. it's generally fourpence time at symbolic for

if you, if you live with mud for that to dry it correct. and it symbolizes also a kind of feeling i have getting all done and symbolize is also the political tuition here. then when you, whenever you go here landscape geography is fragmented, has a lot of meanings and very intensive meanings. over your career, over your life, over the decade. the land, pat, historic palestine has been shrinking. in terms of settlement expansion is that you have one, you have one painting where you see a woman and she's standing with a policy and a flag and it's like a barren landscape. what inspires you? how? how did, how did these ideas come to you? what are you trying to convey? what happened in the recent fear of making peace with

some other countries? and so give, not only me about money as soon as it give them a feeling of being alone. so i got that the idea of the painting from the whole atmosphere that everybody is living, but we are still here and we will go on with that with our for again, that's that ma'am idea. i will ask you about that because your art has been embraced in the arab world. you're famous, you same policy in painters. it's easy to buy a painting and put it on your wall. do you feel that the arab world has somehow abandoned the policy and a little bit at this point in time? i don't believe that worked and i'm sure the, the people everywhere the support us and the was the

of what the, the government here on the 4th by certain father or nick year. but, but this is not the, it's not easy. you know, it's not easy for a philistine and see a way of doing that mentally while trying to bring down docs and loss while killing people here and occupation. and then they go and be embraced and outcomes to sort of help us to see that. and it picks up somebody's head, but the unsure the people in general, they don't feel like they're getting you mentioned alone when it comes to being opposed. and is there a loneliness to being an artist?

yeah. of course them up. if he were on the studio alone, that's how do you know loneliness is part of the production. but to allow us to as it is not the loneliness comes in, you know, not only the artist launch, but in life in general. and i think that's why many people say that my sad, depressing sometimes about because it's not easy to live and such as tuition let's we live here. it's a lonely situation. sense tuition. and they reflect that. do you feel you have a responsibility as an artist because of exactly who you are and what you live? you and the rest of the palestinians to reflect?

what is incredible powerful emotion that you managed to convey through your work? is that, do you feel? is that a burden or is that something that enlightened view when you create affect my my up to feel my own creation, just charge, old or power that i put in my, in my work and i work on a painting like one week very that have been sticking it all, trying to do all of the shapes and putting them to there is any creativity and that's the last moment. and the last hour when, when, when i add certain touches in on the 5th. and last, i think this creates the part that is in the painting. this is the creativity that i put in the panic. i also feel

a kind of responsibility as an artist and as a well known artist among the listing people. i feel a responsibility to reflect the life of the people and to help and getting a free and they tell you it's not easy. it's not a nice feeling to have this obligation from fan a wanted. i want a think that it will be much easier if i am a teacher or an architect or whatever, you know. but because sometimes the feeling that you have and the built and that you have to do things immense and failing the concept. looking at your paintings, your most famous painting that you were saying initially got sold,

ended up in the hands of one mcguffey, correct the camel of burden. the painting disappeared in 9697. we started commenting for 15 and up and i thought it would be a good idea to document that we have course. and so we context. i contacted the live in person, non men in london. and they promised to come back to me after one week, something like that. they came back to me and they said there is no painting. it disappeared in 6. it is, it's because one bob. bon bonded bella of conduct him. and so we put one on we nearly believe that the towards destroyed during that or one bog meant to some of your work,

or at least i suppose how it's been lost, represents regional, the regional history, the regional politics. there's another piece i was reading about, which is called woman breastfeeding. she's breastfeeding and she's holding a gun. that seems to have disappeared as well. yes, we're in lay rotan, i think 7879. they stopped at something called museum for the ballistic people, and they got a lot of donations from many up to the whole world and also from latino up to sunday and at least 3 or 4 paintings for that museum. and also at that time we were part of the union of artist and barrow. so we used to send them to exhibit them with them, with other testability, not just and then the world to happened, occupational by route and the book, but mental money. but as soon as the 2 sons,

including the museum for policy, for, for the policy and then people and also the headquarters of the union policy, not, not to so many of the pictures that we have destroyed. and the painting that we are not destroyed, they will just fall in and they people took them away. but also some months before the vision of the road, they organized an exemption in iran, of our paintings and they send them. and then when the war happened and they lift their root and for the paintings are still in iran and you can't get them back. do you know where they are? and the museum, the museum of thought. but they wasn't. listen, you know, that kind of been cryptic thing, you know,

we didn't get them from me. we got them from other people and they're not there anymore. so we left many paintings in italy. we made several exemptions in italian. most of them are lost. many, many pacino's office, they have work there. also we left many works and a big exemption was bent and in 79. the problem is that we didn't document many of the paintings that were lost here and there and then and besides the manufacturing courses accepted by the, by the authorities back, i guess these readings confiscated your work as well confiscated from me like

4 or 5 paintings from other up to like this or more, there was no rule about what kind of painting should be configured is until 1981 when they give us this or that about not not allowing us to print in black and white kind of so this the same thing that have this color in them. can you paint without this color? not really is at that time and for a couple of years, most of our paintings will red and red, green, black and white. the concept we were talking about your most famous work, the camel of burden, the concept important concept of hardship. it's impossible not to look at your paintings, whether it's in real life, whether it's on your instagram feed and not feel the emotion in the pirate conveys

of. from what i see is incredible sadness nostalgia. it's very rare to see real hope and positivity in your work. how difficult has that been for you to live, to live it and obviously it's emotion you you conveys so well to the outside. you know, looking back at my life and the feeling that they have about all this kind of situation we live in, it's not only had and it's not only depressing and not only have a good. and it's also humiliating, you know, and him, and lot of people and, and, and i know, you know, because right, and they did a lot of studies about policy and, and embroidery and about a lot of latino culture. so it's culturally non,

we need people and somebody comes from poland and didn't know format and say there's no police in people and the take your land terminating. and so the humiliation that is in that unless feel besides all these things and you feel you have to get rid of that or you had it all and as an artist i treated it as a burden on me to work for that him because it's a very difficult him. so the burden that i feel and the burden that everybody who deals with this kind of freedom problem of the philistine of the and his heavy failing when later

officer he told us that we are not allowed to print and read in black and white. he tried before that to convince us to pin flowers and nicely and so on. i think what i will bit in the future after we get the art freedom is flow nicely this. do you expect to see that in your lifetime? freedom to tell you the truth, i think i was born here before the efficient for and i don't know the time, i believe until now that i will die one day and before we get treated, then i'm going to have thank you so much for talking county ah
