On October 23rd & 24th 2012, two masterpieces by Egyptian iconic painter, Mahmoud Saïd will premiere at the Modern and Contemporary Arab, Iranian and Turkish Art sales at Christie’s in Dubai.
These two works, namely El Zar (circa 1939) and Pêcheurs à Rosette (1941), are among his most prestigious works, both depicting scenes from the traditional culture in Egypt. A visit to Mahmoud Said Museum in Alexandria is essential to understand the influences that molded his style and made him a founding father of modern Egyptian art.
