"Bedaiwi" The Man

with the International Brush

 Written by:The Egyptian cartoonist

Mr Al Borgainy, Abdelhaliem.  

Art has been a matter of controversy is it a game or is it a task? Does it polish speech? Or is it a language in it self? If we view art as a game, it is, then, an endeavor to acquire skills make of it a serious task... If we consider it a visual complement that illustrates speech, we will hardly be fair…Art is a language in it self and does not allow for any translation into speech… Has any language ever been able to translate one of the symphonies and substitute by such a translation the sheer joy of listening to it? Or is a spoken rendering of a painting sufficient for us to enjoy all its beauty without seeing it? "Rabandrant Taghore", the great poet of India, managed to introduce his works in plastic arts in just a concise headline :( I paint to express my self not to explain anything) this headline became later a strict criterion for the plastic arts critics. Just as Bedaiwi, our satirical artist, is endowed with a vocation for plastic arts, he is also endowed with an innate ability to recognize the constituents of drawing with such an ease that he has managed to introduce each of his works as an independent language that is fit to satirize without the help of any other form of language. Such a feature is what has made him stand out and attract the attention of many civilized nation to his works… He has, therefore, been overwhelmed with honorary titles and awards from various parts of the globe… He participated with the renowned French artist Plantu, the caricaturist of the French newspaper Le Monde, in giving a conference on the art of caricature at the French cultural center in Alexandria, Foreign newspaper, such as the Chinese Nanfangdaily newspaper wrote about him and introduced his works. All I expect from our dear readers, while he is exploring the pages of this book, is that he reflects upon Bedaiwi's rhetorical capacity to express what he aims to convey & never believe that what you see are merely " MAD BRUSH " for you are now facing an artist with a presence of mind, who is extremely aware, and whose drawing lines are absolutely not lost in the haze of all that is arbitrary and closed on the self. Moreover, never forget, dear reader, to accompany your young artist in the future; you will surely experience what will stir up in you even more astonishment and more admiration.
