About The First Hijra Hussein Bikar Painting

The First Hijra by Hussein Bicar Hussein Amin Bicar (1913-2002) was one of Egypt's most prominent artists of the 20th century. Hussain is credited for initiating a style of journalistic art that elevated illustrating for news papers to a level close to that of the fine art. Bikar’s portraits and oil paintings depicting graceful Egyptian peasants, Nubian scenes, his native Alexandria and Egyptian Pharaonic themes. One of his teachers Friedman Cluezel from Sweden was especially important to Bicar's artistic development. He recognized Bicar to be “gifted as a portrait artist”. To express his confidence, Cluezel asked the young student to draw his portrait—one of the first of many that Bicar produced over the years. These teachers brought a new spirit into the school as they promoted sensitivity for Egyptian heritage. Among them was the great sculptor, Mahmoud Mokhtar. In his senior year, Bicar was able to study with the best portrait artist in Egypt at that time, Ahmed Sabri, who became his mentor and lifelong friend.
