sa`ed..Mahmoud..and Mustafa
-They are the basic pillars upon which `experimental group` stands. Their names are arranged alphabetically on purpose, and cannot be arranged in any other way. They not only accept that, but they are keen on it. This is because their group is unique; it is not a school, neither a faith, nor a creed, except that they believe in the necessity of experience for an artist. I can even hear their voice saying: what is new in that?
All artists, everywhere and at all times, are goverened, motivated by experience; thus those three are not strange concerning this ideas.
- Maybe what they mean by experience basically differs from other experiences. When an artist says experience, he means his own stance from the different artistic problems interacting with previous experiences which he respects and make use of. But those three fellows question everything and tackle it as an experience.They think that considering the previous experiences of others with respect will make it everything; hence, we are liberated from an academy to be enslaved by the other at an age when science refused to believe in old terms such as `the part that cannot be divided` wich is the atom, and it smashed it. science even refused to be governed by the laws of nature, and broke the laws of gravity flying in the skies... and the rest will come. At this age which is known for liberation and rush accompanied by doubts and feelings of loss, and confusion before all the miracles we live in. Thus, it makes sense to find in art those who are trying to reach something new through experience everythingm. This puts art and science on the same level in our generation, and prepares the artist to the era of space and transportations among orbits which would be at the same time the age of the comprehensive atomic catastrophe.
-Hence, the three experimentalists are not connected by a certain creed, faith or school, but rather a stance determined by ones own experiences in a way that they do not resemble each other in their attitude -the attitude of rejection of facts without disscusing them-, and reaching the whole personal expresion through trial. And so they are colleagues of the same group; yet, the nature of this group imposes on them the fact that the style of each one of them must be different so it would be difficult to tell which one is better or to arrange them in any way except alphabetically.
