Marguerite Nakhla ( Arabic: مرجريت نخلة) was a modern Egyptian painter (1908–1977), born on December 10, 1908, in Alexandria, Egypt. [1]
Because of her gender, Nakhla was not allowed to attend the newly established Egyptian School of Fine Arts. Instead she attended an all-girls school, taught in French and operated by nuns. [2] After completing her primary education, Nakhla attended Pedagogic Arts Institute for Women Teachers before deciding to study art at the École nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. [2] She graduated from the Paris art school in 1939 and returned to Egypt, where she taught and exhibited her own art for the next nine years. [2]
In 1948, Nakhla returned to Paris to continue her studies at the École du Louvre. [2] She would remain in Paris for another three years while she studied graphic arts, fresco painting, and continued to exhibit her work. [2] Nakhla's work was even acquired by the Egyptian Embassy in Paris.
Nakhla continued to travel between Paris and Alexandria for several years before settling in Alexandria. [2] She stopped exhibiting her work in 1975, just two years before her death in 1977. [3]
She received her teaching Diploma in 1939, then studied muralism at the École du Louvre in 1951. She taught at the Institute of Fine Arts for Girls, Egypt. She lived in Alexandria, Paris, Cairo and Port Said.
1965 full-time grant of artistic production for a year
