The Life and Work of Inji Efflatoun

Edited by Sultan Sooud Al Qassemi, Suheyla Takesh.

Recounting the life and work of a valiant Egyptian artist-activist and feminist

The influential Egyptian artist and activist Inji Efflatoun (1924–89) was a pioneer of modern Egyptian art. Commissioned by the Barjeel Art Foundation, Sharjah, The Life and Work of Inji Efflatoun vividly captures her journey from a privileged upbringing to her courageous activism and imprisonment. During the late 1940s and 1950s, her work was indebted to the social realism of Mexican muralism. After she was arrested and secretly imprisoned as a communist in 1959, she continued painting in prison, at first portraits and later landscapes. The lively brushstrokes and intense color of her paintings reminded some observers of Van Gogh and Bonnard. Accompanying this translation are insightful scholarly essays and interviews that delve into Efflatoun’s artistic legacy and sociopolitical impact. This volume offers an exploration of her enduring contributions to art and social justice, making it an essential read for those interested in Middle Eastern art and history.
