Mahmoud Sabri

He studied social sciences at Loughborough University in the late 1940s.

While in England, his interest in painting developed and he attended evening art classes there.

[1] In the late 1960s he started working on linking art and science.

[6] Led by his contemporary, Faeq Hassan (1914-1992), this group was inspired by Mespotamian art, Iraqi folklore [7] and the 12th and 13th-century poets of the Baghdad School.

He had several publications on art, philosophy and politics in Arabic and English.
