Abstract

       Art is one of the cultural sources in the society that is concerned with the creative and imaginative aspect of the human mind. It plays a fundamental role in human civilization. "Art is a human phenomenon that is symbolically formed in forms that reflect the culture of the artist and the culture of the society in which he lives. The Romantic trend is one of the trends of modern art. "The romantic trend in art represents a revolution in order to eliminate academic traditions and sources of inspiration based on the simulation of classical Greek models. The romantic artist was to overcome the concepts of clarity and replace with bright colors and deep brush tips. Art is the myths and oddities that have found their sources in the world of the East "
Women have been at the center of art throughout the ages, and Western artists have expressed their oriental work in oriental art, seeking to discover the mysterious world of women with amazing armaments. The artist (Eugene Delacroix), after his trip to North Africa, is depicted in the "Women of Algeria" (Figure 1) as an oriental woman influenced by the mysterious mythical image he witnessed and the fact that she is in her imagination about women in the East

And portray them in their works of art in the form of women Almrtmip between silk pillows worn with precious robes. "This image has had an impact on the Western mind, which was adopted by a registered trademark for Oriental women, and on the other hand it had an impact on the Arab mind in giving mythological features to Oriental women." We note this in the work of some of the leading Egyptian artists who studied art and were trained by Western artists such as the artist (Mahmoud Said) who studied the art of photography by the Italian artist (Zanieri) in Alexandria Which has influenced the formation of personality and aberration in the expression of popular women. "We refer to the model of the female who is the grandmother of the woman (the daughter of the country) in her hidden celebration of sex and her gestures in the eyes and parts expressing fertility and in the atmosphere, The physical dimensions of the psychological vague and burdened with secrets. "Also in the panel (women with gold bars) and the number (2) and (naval girls) other works of the artist Mahmoud Said.
