re to begin writing about Dr. Ahmed Nawar? Let us start with his artistic mastery. Nawar is
an artist who owns an incredible legacy of rich and varied artworks accomplished throughout
his exceptional career, which made him one of the symbols of Egyptian creativity in the modern
age and put his name in the best national and international art encyclopedias. Nawar practiced
his unique talent in graphic art, drawing, painting, and sculpture. He excelled in all of them with
that visual language of style, technique, vocabulary, and splendor of combination and harmony
between the organic and the geometric elements. With his talent, imagination, and expertise,
Nawar had the secrets of the perfection of creative achievement. Many transformations and more
stages took place in his modernist experience that excites the viewer and stimulates his mind to
ask questions, trying to interpret the symbolic significance and decipher the codes of the peace-
ful, closely-knit plastic art composition. A significant feature of Nawar’s personality is his love
of Egypt, its history, its role, and the sacrifices of its men. He also voiced the Arab and national
issues with his art.
Regarding his successful cultural management, Dr. Nawar has been a role model until the pres-
ent time in all the positions and tasks that he assumed academically and administratively. Per-
haps, the most prominent stage in this context is his presidency of the National Center of Fine
Arts, which was upgraded, thanks to him, to the Fine Arts Sector in a time that was considered
exceptional in terms of achievement, development, and influence on the plastic art movement.
It is still so thus far because of the major and diverse national and international art activities he
established, which allowed Egyptian talents to emerge and become big stars nowadays. Another
unmissable feature is his establishment of the Faculty of Fine Arts and its museum in Minya that
will remain a brilliant mark in his impressive record full of accomplishments.
His career inspires all successive plastic artists and is an incredibly unique and diverse experi-
ence. His exhibition at the Center of Arts will try to document it for all his fans, his students, and
the new generation in a show befitting the creator, professor, inspirer, and artist Nawar.
