It also includes approximately 75 personal photographs that embody the stages of the life of the great artist George Al Bahgoury, between Cairo, Paris, and the village of Bahgoura, his birthplace, through the eyes of a photographic camera.
Bahgory was born in Luxor in 1932 to a Coptic Christian family. He started drawing when he was four years old and continued throughout school, where he doodled endlessly in his science textbooks. In 1955, he studied painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Zamalek, Cairo, under the guidance of Egyptian artist Hussein Bikar. In 1970, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris; École des Beaux Arts.
Bahgory is an international lithographer, painter, sculptor and press
designer. He is a complete artist who not only expresses himself
in the art of caricature, but also in painting, sculpture and writing.
A Silver Medalist for his painting “A Face from Egypt”, Bahgoury’s artwork has been widely displayed in galleries and museums, including the Louvre Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in Amman, the Museum of Modern Art in Cairo, and the Al Masar Gallery for Contemporary Art in Zamalek, Cairo.
