Abstract

when dealing with the mysterious life of "Ibn Massouda"; History of art researcher will be choked by the number of the missing chapters of his life and his personal account, by the end of 50s era Massouda 's Participations in forming the modern Egyptian art had been demolished on purpose, maybe for being a Jew, in a time when War had the only voice to be heard, when all public minds circling around that node, no one could hear the whispers of the young artist "Massouda" while the shouting was so loud.
many documentary had been mad describe and study the revolution of Egyptian modern art, and the Egyptian art Pioneers in the 50s like; "Hammed Nada", "sammer Rafea", "Abdel Hadi al-gazzar" and "Kamel el-telmesany"; while they all were colleague to "Massouda", they work and study together form the same team, but no one pointed out " Massouda ", "Massouda" himself became just a repeated name, like he joined the group; in what manner ? none give an answer?- he became just a meanless name with no aim with no history like a ghost or an invisible artist, the fact that he was a Jewish artist also was lost, in the lack of trusted information about him, the only one good beginning to learn about him is to start from the artistic school he join and participate "the group of Modern art"-" Gamāet al-Fan al Moāser"-1945-1955, by tracing the history of that group we can built a personal accounts of "Massouda"
