Kuwait is a group of approximately 40 paintings made by Nabil Kanso in 1990–91 on the Gulf War and Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. The works in the series were first exhibited in Kuwait[1] in March – April 1992 at the Free Atelier Art Center[2][3] and traveled in June to Caracas for a special exhibit at the Palacio de Gobierno in honor of the Emir of Kuwait’s visit to Venezuela.[4][5] Then, the exhibition proceeded to Geneva and was held at the Red Cross Museum in July – August 1992.[6][7]
