WOMEN BRAIDING HAIR oil on canvas signed in English T. HALIM lower left image: 50 x 65cm; 19 3/4 x 25 1/2in framed: 64 x 79cm; 25 1/4 x 39in Provenance: Private Collection, London Born in 1919 in the city of Dongola, Sudan, Tahia Halim showed a keen interest in art at an early age while her father worked as the chamberlain of King Fouad (1868-1936) in Cairo. After finishing her secondary education in the privacy of the royal palace she enrolled at Cairo’s Academy of Fine Arts. She later joined the ateliers of the Lebanese painter Youssef al-Traboulsi and the Greek artist Alecco Jerome. Through her post-secondary education, her exposure to fine art was mainly limited to academic or impressionist styles, a product of the Euro-centric curriculum of the Academy, and the influence of her instructors. In 1940, Tahia Halim met avant-garde artist Hamed Abdalla (1917-1985), whom she married five years later and followed to Paris in 1949 where they joined the Academie Julian. Halim returned to Cairo in 1951 and after a trip to Nubia (the land of her birth) in 1959, became fascinated by its rural way of life. Like many Egyptian artists of the time, her work was informed by the political environment, in which Egyptians sought to remove themselves from colonial authority. Struck by the authentic 'character' of Nubian women, whom she perceived to represent centuries old traditions of land, she found them to be humble, serene, and generous. Focusing on depicting their grace and beauty, which she highlighted in the warm earthy palette of her works, these women further served to strenghten her nationalist ideals and to reinforce her privileged position in life. An acclaimed artist with works in several international collections, Halim is also known to be the first woman awarded the Guggenheim International Prize, an honour she gained in 1958.

Provenance:Property from a private collection, RomeOriginally gifted by the artist to the present owner's mother in EgyptThence by descent to the present ownerTWO RARE AND EXQUISITE WORKS BY TAHIA HALIM FROM A PRIVATE ITALIAN COLLECTION"There is a poignancy in her works which leaves its mark on all spectators. Her manipulation of the palette knife is skilful and produces a rich quality of painting. Her Nubian scenes evoke an emotional response that is full of dramatic intensity" – Apollo Magazine, 1951The two following lots present the rare appearance of important early works by Egyptian modernist pioneer Tahia Halim that have been in an Italian private collection since being acquired directly from the artist in the 1980's, and are coming to market for the first time. Tahia Halim's artworks were profoundly influenced by her various travels to Nubia during the. Halim visited Nubia twice in the early 1960s, once with her friend and colleague Cleopatra Shahata in 1961 and again with a group of fifty academics and artists in 1962 on a trip organised by Tharwat Okasha, the then Minister for Culture and National Guidance. Both trips were to leave lasting impressions on Halim who worked closely with the inhabitants of Nubia to document and study their ways of life, their traditions and rituals. The main reason this trip was organised was to preserve in some way the area around Aswan which was due to be flooded upon completion of the High Dam. The group that cruised the Nile aboard the 'Deka' included artists such as Adham and Seif Wanly, Adam Henein and Hussein Bekar, the architect Hassan Fathi and musician Aziz el-Shawan. The writer and critic Louis Awad was also aboard the boat and described the trip as the key influence in Halim's future works. The group sailed from village to village speaking with the inhabitants and learning of their cultures. They recorded the experiences of the locals which were soon to be lost to the world forever.
