Abstract
The activities of Georges Henein (1913-1973) in the 30s and 40s of the 20th Century largely influenced Egyptian culture. Art and Liberty Group not only tried to change views, but it had educational function as well.
If in Paris Surrealists’ language of protest became important during the demonstrations in 60s, in Egypt it’s important till today. In 40s thanks to Bread and Freedom Group established by Anwar Kamel (1912-1991) Surrealistic movement was still connected with cultural progress. As for 50s and 60s it became important in post-revolution Egypt as the form of expression under the censorship (Idris, Kharrat). We can observe the same tendency by the end of 80s and in 90s. The language of Surrealism is the means to tell the truth indirectly.
During the 1990s, the heritage of the Surrealist group was discovered by the then current generation of Egyptian avant-garde artists and writers. This heritage is still vivid in contemporary Egyptian cultural life and its incorporation of Surrealism and other art movements deserves greater study, – remarks O. Beraneck in his research about Surrealism in Egypt.
Ahmad Taha is one of these avantgarde poets who used surrealistic ways of expression by the end of 80s, in 90s and in 2000s. Unfortunately, his poetry hasn’t been the special interest of scientific study before. The analyze of his poems makes clear that:
1) He uses prose poem which is direct influence of surrealistic groups’ ideas as it’s known that they rejected traditional poetic clichés and underlined the necessity of renovation of poetic forms. In the 50s and 60s this form appeared as some kind of protest as well;
2) He uses surrealistic images but he isn’t a typical surrealist poet who follows the stream of consciousness etc. Surrealistic language and form of expression is a kind of protest, on the one hand, and a shelter, on the other. He needs this shelter not as a comfort zone where one can run away from reality but as possibility to voice his discontent by indirect language.
Ahmad Taha met Anwar Kamel in one of the Cairo’s cafes Zahrat al-Bustan and received the legacy of Egyptian surrealism to make it important again. He issued journal Al-kitabatu-s-sawda’, where one can find his theoretical articles too about the new forms of verse and surrealistic means of writing. So, he is as a poet with the theoretical background, who continues activities of Henein in postmodern times as well.
