Hassan Heshmat (1920 - 2006) was a well known Egyptian artist who studied and graduated from the Porcelain Academy in Germany and is most well known for his sculpture. Heshmat has a museum in Egypt and carved a niche for himself as a pioneer and founder of an individual school of sculpture. Greatly influenced by the local environment Heshmat was the first Egyptian sculptor who cast mini porcelain statues, which were widely admired at home and in foreign countries in 1960. In 1984 the sculptor shifted his attention to small-size and monumental sculptures, and murals. Heshmat also distinguished himself by his impressive ceramics. His monumental sculptures, murals and ceramics are the landmarks of squares and institutions in Egypt and abroad. Heshmat gained renewed notoriety after an attack on his art in 2006.
