===Visual art=== {{See also|List of works by Kahlil Gibran#Visual art}} ====Overview==== According to Waterfield, "Gibran was confirmed in his aspiration to be a [[Symbolism (movement)|Symbolist painter]]" after working in Marcel-Béronneau's studio in Paris.<ref name="Waterfield chapter 5"/> [[Oil paint]] was Gibran's "preferred medium between 1908 and 1914, but before and after this time he worked primarily with pencil, ink, [[watercolor]] and [[gouache]]."{{sfn |McCullough |2005 |p=184}} In a letter to Haskell, Gibran wrote that "among all the English artists [[J. M. W. Turner|Turner]] is the very greatest."<ref>{{harvnb|Otto|1970|p=47}}.</ref> In her diary entry of March 17, 1911, Haskell recorded that Gibran told her he was inspired by J. M. W. Turner's painting ''[[The Slave Ship]]'' (1840) to utilize "raw colors [...] one over another on the canvas [...] instead of killing them first on the palette" in what would become the painting ''Rose Sleeves'' (1911, [[Telfair Museums]]).{{sfn |McCullough |2005 |p=184}}{{sfn|Otto|1965|p=16}} Gibran created more than seven hundred visual artworks, including the Temple of Art portrait series.{{sfn |Amirani |Hegarty |2012}} His works may be seen at the [[Gibran Museum]] in Bsharri; the [[Telfair Museums]] in Savannah, Georgia; the [[Museo Soumaya]] in Mexico City; [[Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art]] in Doha; the [[Brooklyn Museum]] and the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] in New York City; and the [[Harvard Art Museums]]. A possible Gibran painting was the subject of a September 2008 episode of the PBS TV series ''[[History Detectives]]''. ====Gallery==== <gallery mode="packed-hover" heights="200px"> Ages of Women by Kahlil Gibran - Soumaya.jpg|''The Ages of Women'', 1910 ([[Museo Soumaya]]) Khalil Gibran - Autorretrato con musa, c. 1911.jpg|''Self-Portrait and Muse'', {{circa|1911}} ([[Museo Soumaya]]) Untitled (Rose Sleeves) by Kahlil Gibran.jpg|''Untitled (Rose Sleeves)'', 1911 ([[Telfair Museums]]) Towards the Infinite (Kamila Gibran, mother of the artist) MET 87681.jpg|''Towards the Infinite (Kamila Gibran, mother of the artist)'', 1916 ([[Metropolitan Museum of Arts]]) The Three are One by Kahlil Gibran.jpg|''The Three are One'', 1918 ([[Telfair Museums]]), also ''[[The Madman (book)|The Madman]]''{{'}}s frontispiece The Slave by Kahlil Gibran.jpg|''The Slave'', 1920 ([[Harvard Art Museums]]) Standing Figure and Child by Kahlil Gibran.jpg|''Standing Figure and Child'', undated ([[Barjeel Art Foundation]]) </gallery>
