Abstract | ||||
This article traces the transformations of the relationship between linguistic expression and visual form within the context of Egyptian Surrealism, considering it as a complex expressive trajectory that intertwines literature and visual art through intersecting emancipatory visions. The study begins with a central question concerning how Surrealist concepts were localized within the Egyptian environment, and how this localization influenced expressive forms that combined poetry and painting-not as separate mediums, but as interwoven structures. Adopting a historical-analytical methodology, the article follows the early stages of this interplay in the collaborative works of the Art and Liberty Group, particularly those of Georges Henein, Ramses Younan, and Kamel El-Telmissany. It then traces the shift towards material visual intertextuality in the works of Abdel Hadi El-Gazzar within the Contemporary Art Group, and explores its transformations in the later works of Hamed Nada and Maher Raif. The article also examines the experience of Ahmed Morsi as a mature culmination of this trajectory, where word and image converge in a contemplative and symbolic vision. The study concludes that Egyptian Surrealism redefined the relationship between text and image as an alternative mode of understanding self and reality-blending vernacular sensibility with transcendent imagination, and offering a unique model of “visual writing” open to interpretation. | ||||
