About the Item

"Abstract Composition II" Abstract Painting 16" x 20" inch by Leila Izzet Leila Izzet has been exhibiting her paintings for over 40 years. A great lover of animals, she was first known as a painter of horses. She then moved on to expressionistic work before becoming famous as an abstract artist. Izzet had solo exhibitions in New York, Paris, Switzerland and participated in Biennales in Madrid, Iraq, and Croatia. L.Izzet was tutored with the Armenian painter Zorian in the ’50s. The way Leila defines her abstraction is through her need to have freedom. That abstraction gives her which is not based on an idea or object. Most of her ideas are explosions. In her experiments with abstraction, L. Izzet has confined herself to a certain palette of colors, mainly red, black, and white. And in her big paintings, she was able to explore the dynamism of those colors to the fullest.

"Abstract Composition 3" Abstract Oil Painting 24" x 18" inch by Youssef Sida Signed and dated 1990 Youssef Sida 1922-1994 Born in 1922 in Damietta, and in 1945 he got his degree from the Higher Institute of Educational Art. In 1947, he participated in establishing the influential Group of Modern Art. In 1949 he participated in the Egyptian exhibition in Paris. In 1950, he received the Full Bright award for studying art at Minnesota University. He then studied at Colombia University in NY and began exhibiting his work in NY and Minnesota from 1951-1952. He participated in 1953 in the Biennale of Sao Paulo in Brazil. Upon returning to Egypt in 1954, he became active in local and international exhibitions. In 1961, he was sent by the Egyptian government to receive his Ph.D. from Columbus University, Ohio. After, he started exhibiting his work in Columbus and Washington DC. Y.Sida’s work at the start was mainly dealing with popular Egyptian themes. We can distinguish Sida’s work through his power of using primary colors in its purest form directly in the tubes without being mixed with other colors. Also, we can notice in his work a tendency towards the qualities and techniques of children’s art. In his later years, Sida began experimenting with Arabic Calligraphy by concentrating on the forms and shapes that are dominant in the popular Egyptian motives and décor. We can witness the dynamism in his Arabic calligraphy work. Sida is also known for his huge murals...
