Essays
- Since he graduated in 1917 until the mid fifties we couldn`t distinguish a specific role for him. Though he belongs to the pioneering generation of Egypt`s modern artists, he used to be away from the developing movement of Painting, except for few tableaus , in which he depicted some scenes, that reflected his different spirited experiences in the 1950s; as he blended modren trends of art at that time such as Impressionism, Expressionism and Cubism together in a colourful Fantasia. .
