Agegnehu Engida

Agegnehu Engida (, 1905 – 1950), was an Ethiopian modern painter. He blended abstraction, expressionism, and surrealism, but maintained a style that was "distinctively Ethiopian."

Biography As part of Emperor Haile Selassie's education program, Agegnehu was granted a government scholarship to study at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France from 1926 to 1933.

Few works by the artist are known to survive today. Two of his portraits are housed in the National Museum of Ethiopia: a self-portrait and a portrait of Aster Mengesha.
