EL HUSSEIN FAWZI: (1905-1999). Born in Helmia district, Cairo on 4 September 1905, El Hussein Fawzi was known in Egypt and the Middle Eastern his pioneering work in the field of journalistic graphic arts. Fawzibegan his artistic studies in 1922 at the School of Fine Arts, studying oil painting. He won the first prize at an art competition for which he received an art fellowship in 1928 and entered the printing school in Paris, from which he received a lithography diploma in 1932. He also studied lithography at the Estienne School in Paris.
He was an artist and professor of oil painting before joining the ParisHigher School of Arts and Decoration from which he received a diploma in1933. Fawzi was also awarded an honorary degree for an oil painting exhibited at the 1939 French Salon. Although Fawzi’s fame was as an agraphic artist he also had an active career in the fine arts. Upon his return to Egypt, he founded the Department of Graphic Arts at the Faculty of Fine Arts and later was appointed director of the department, a position he held until his retirement. He made lots of illustrations for two books by Naguib Mahfouz that were published in the Al Ahram newspaper and also made drawings of all the big mosques of Egypt that were publishedin two big books.
El Hussein Fawzi painted one of the most renowned and beautiful paintings in the history of Egyptian art called “El Dalalah”. He also supervised the Fine Arts Studio in Luxor from 1954 to 1960. Fawzi was one of four Egyptian artists to have their work engraved on the crystal by the Steuben glass factory in New York (the others were Gamal El Seguini, Hamed Abdallah, and Hussein Bikar).
Fawzi was awarded the State Prize and Order of Sciences and Arts in1963, and in the same year, won the Lithography prize at the AlexandriaBiennial. In 1989 he was awarded the State Prize of Merit.
