“Between these two stages, Salah Jahin defied time, presented the juice of his creativity, inspired new generations and offered them the fruits of his journey into a world of great wealth and pleasure,” said Abdul-Ghani. .

A pioneer stature

Every day, the exhibition attracts dozens of young people and families to the historic house-museum on Al-Muizz Li-Din Allah Al-Fatimi Street, in the heart of Fatimid Cairo.

“Given the large public participation, we have decided to extend the exhibition until the end of the first week of August,” said Fathy Abdel Wahab, director of the Egyptian Cultural Development Fund, which manages Bayt Al -Suhaymi.

The opening ceremony of the exhibition took place in the presence of Gomaa Farhat, designer and president of the Egyptian Cartoon Association; Mohamed Abla, artist and founder of the Caricature Museum; Hassan Fedawy, professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Alexandria; and Bahaa Jahin, poet, designer and son of the late designer.

Given Salah Jahin’s pioneering stature in Egypt, several documentaries about his drawings were produced after his death. Artist Muhammad Baghdadi has collected a group of them in a book entitled “Sudasiyat Jahin” (“The Hexagram of Jahin”), published in Cairo in 1988 by the Arab Future publishing house. The Egyptian Ministry of Culture, in cooperation with the Documentation Center for Cultural and Natural Heritage, documented Jahin’s works in two volumes, published in 2013 and prefaced by the late artist Mohieddine El-Labbad.
