In cooperation with the International Syrian Cartoon website and in celebration of the 135th anniversary of the birth of the late artist, Moustapha M. Moukhtar, the Egyptian Caricature Memory Project is pleased to announce the holding of a caricature competition, with the theme of the late cartoonist: Moustapha  M. Moukhtar(1886-1954).

Background on the Artist..

Introducing the late cartoonist Moustapha M. Moukhtar, who is considered one of the first pioneers to lay a foundation to the modern era school of Egyptian caricature. The competition is being held to celebrate the 135th anniversary of his birth.

Moustapha M. Moukhtarwas born in 1886, to a father who worked as a military commander in the Egyptian army. He obtained a Bachelor of Law from the Sorbonne University in 1914, and joined the Royal Palace, where he took over the royal ceremonies of King Fouad. As time progressed, he began to feel restricted from the day-to-day of his job and the ceremonies of the mixed courts, so he turned to art – specifically caricature.


At the end of 1926, Moustapha M. Moukhtar published his first book called Caricatures of MoustaphaMoukhtar(1916-1926). Besides the great artistic value of this book, it is considered the first book in the modern history of Egyptian caricature. At the end of 1936, Moustapha M. Moukhtarissued his second book called Caricatures of Moustapha Moukhtar(1927-1936).
He participated in many art exhibitions inside and outside Egypt, starting in 1917, and received many awards and honors. In addition to his professionalism in caricature, he also specialized in oil painting, sculpture, and woodcarving. His hobbies included writing poetry, playing sports, pigeon breeding, hunting trips, and playing the violin. Art was his passion.
