Tahia Halim
Egyptian, b. 1919
Tahia Halim (1919–2003, Egypt) was born in Sudan and raised in the Royal Palace of Cairo. A pioneer of the Modern Expressive Movement in Egyptian Art during the 1960s, she was known for capturing the Egyptian spirit in her works.
Her subjects often focused on Nubian culture, the Nile, boats, and national themes, earning her several honorary awards in Egypt and internationally. After studying at the Julian Academy in Paris in 1945, she returned to teach in her private studio near Tahrir Square. Halim's work was
showcased in solo exhibitions in countries such as Sweden, Italy, Brazil, UAE, and Iran. In 2015, Google celebrated her legacy with a Doodle marking the 96th anniversary of her birth.
