Ahmed Lotfi (1896 - 1966). Graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in 1917, ranking first in his class. During his studies, he was introduced to the world of theater and designed the stage sets for the operetta Al-Ishra Al-Taybah by Sayed Darwish. After graduation, Youssef Kamel invited him to succeed him as a teacher at the Ilhamiya School. He then worked at the Survey Authority for two years before being sent on a scholarship to England in 1925 by the same authority to study painting, printing, and color technology. Despite his job, his passion for art remained undiminished, and he continued to paint landscapes and scenes of daily life from time to time. His cultural standing grew, leading to his selection as an expert in the Arts and Preparation Committee at the Academy of the Arabic Language in 1937. Eventually, he was appointed as a professor of painting and decorative arts at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Alexandria. Although he made significant artistic contributions, he remains relatively unknown. However, the Museum of Modern Egyptian Art houses four of his paintings, which reflect his mastery of painting and bold use of color. His style was characterized by a daring approach to color, blending both Impressionism and Expressionism.
