Mahmoud Kahil محمود كحيل ((アラビア語:محمود كحيل); 1936 - February 11, 2003) was a Lebanese-born British editorial cartoonist. ==Early years== Mahmoud Kahil, was born in Tripoli, North Lebanon in 1936. Kahil had an innate gift for drawing satirical cartoons about society and never received any formal artistic training. He enrolled at the American University of Beirut, but dropped out in his sophomore year to work as a graphic designer at an advertising agency in Beirut and pursue cartooning. Kahil then joined the weekly magazine ''Al Usbu Al-Arabi'' as a layout designer from 1961 to 1963. While working as an Art Director for various publications, Kahil also began drawing professional cartoons. From 1963 to 1965 he drew the cartoon strip ''Busat Al Rih'' in the children's magazine ''Shahrazade''. In 1965, he moved to ''Lissan Al Hal'' newspaper and started publishing his first ever political cartoons editorially, remaining with the paper until 1966. Kahil drew cartoons for ''Mu'assassat Al Hayat'' from 1966-1968 before moving to ''Dar Annahar'' from 1968-1971 to work as Art director of ''Al Hasna'' Magazine. From 1971 -1973, Kahil worked as Art Director for ''Al-Usbu' Alarabi'' while also publishing cartoons in the English-language ''Daily Star'' newspaper and ''Monday Morning'' Magazine. In 1967, Kahil, along with Farid Salman and Roro Breidi, began producing the ambitious and futuristic newsreel series, Actualitees Libanaises exclusively for major cinemas in Hamra, Beirut. The three artists would film the audience entering the cinemas and rush back to the lab, develop the footage and then screen the clips back to the audience before the film began. In producing the series, Kahil became the first cartoonist to draw live events for the audience on the big screen. Actualitees Libanaises is considered one of the best filmed newsreels in the region, archiving the history of Lebanon as it unfolded. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahmoud Kahil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
