Hi Vlad old cabbage,

Mona and I noted with interest that poster #372 whose caption says:

I did not die

I am still here

To help you with the struggle

Curator's note: The man in this poster remains unidentified

depicts none other than Mona’s father Maarouf Saad, martyred 1975 in Saida. Maarouf was a champion of the Palestinian struggle from its early days, and fought in Palestine before 1948.

The Arabic text reads: “I did not die.. I am still calling you to the struggle”.

We are researching the artist whose name appears at the bottom of the portrait but is illegible.

Correction is called for.

Thanks buddy,

Nab

Found the artist's name a well known Egyptian artist and illustrator
Gamal Qutb  جمال القطب

Other information in Arabic online and on facebook. I find his portrait drawing skills quite better than most Arab artists I know of.
