George Bahgoury (b. 1932) is widely hailed as the 'Grandfather of Egyptian Caricature' and one of Egypt's most charismatic contemporary expressionist painters. Working between Cairo and Paris, his energetic brushwork captures the warmth of traditional Cairo cafes, Um Kalthoum concerts, and street life.
