Description
Gamal El-Seguini [El-Sagini], Egyptian 1917-1977- Head of Salah Taher; painted plaster sculpture, with stamped monogram, 44cm high
Note: Gamal El-Seguini was an Egyptian sculptor and painter. Born in a poor suburb of Cairo, in 1934 he joined the sculpture department at the First School of Fine Arts founded by Prince Youssef Kamal, earning his diploma in sculpture in 1938. El-Seguini traveled to Paris to pursue higher studies where he was greatly affected by English sculptor Henry Moore. El-Seguini followed this in 1947 by travelling to Rome to resume his post graduate studies where he received a diploma in Sculpture and Medal Arts in 1950. Constantly concerned with his home country's issues, El-Seguini featured Egypt in most of his works expressing hope, encouragement, disappointment or just pure unconditional love. Introducing symbolism in Egyptian sculpture, El-Seguini used different symbols of Egypt during times of joy, despair, victory and defeat. In 1977 El-Seguini travelled to Spain for a comprehensive exhibition of his works organized by the Egyptian General Organization for Information held in Madrid and then Barcelona, where he died on November 17 at the age of 60.
