About the artist:
Although Adham (1908–1959) died at the age of 51, he left behind him a unique legacy of paintings, loved for their vibrant colours and varied subjects. His favourite subject, however, was performance art, such as circus, ballet and theatre, where he captured the vibrant and dynamic movements of the performers on stage in Egypt and on his many trips around Europe.
