George Bahgoury
Egyptian-French, b.1932

George Bahgoury (b. 1932, Egyptian-French) was born in Bahgora, Upper Egypt, a town significant to the Coptic community. He began his career as a political cartoonist in 1953, publishing in Sabah Al Khair and Rose El Youssef.
His passion for art led him to study at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Zamalek in 1955 under Hussein Bikar, and later at the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris in 1970. In 1975, he shifted to focus solely on his art, ending his career as a cartoonist. With over 70 years in the art world, Bahgoury is a prominent figure in the Middle East, and his work has been exhibited internationally in countries like Egypt, France, Italy, and Spain.
