Description
Artist, philosopher and musician Omar El Nagdi was born in Cairo in 1931. Upon graduating from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Helwan University in Cairo, El Nagdi continued his training in Russia, Italy and eventually graduated from the Academia del Bello Arte in Venice in 1965. During his travels, El Nagdi encountered Avant-grade master Giorgio de Chirico, who mentored and, undoubtedly, influenced him. He then became part of the art scene in Rome and Venice, and eventually exhibited in group shows alongside Picasso in 1960, and Dali in 1961. Omar El Nagdi’s body of work is a combination of his cultural history, embodying pharaonic and Islamic iconography with elements of cultures that he encountered in rural Egypt. The Harp Player is an exceptional example of that mixture, showcasing the Egyptian artist’s mastery of color, culture and poetry.
