Mohamed Chabâa (Template:Lang-ar; 1935–2013) was a Moroccan visual artist.[1][2][3][4] He was a member of the Casablanca School[5] and a leader of contemporary art and modernism in the Global South.[4] His multidisciplinary approach to art became emblematic of the cultural awakening that took place in Morocco in the period following the end of the French Protectorate.[4]

Biography

He was born in Tangier in 1935.[2] He studied at the School of Fine Arts of Tetuan.[2] From 1962 to 1964, he studied at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma.[2] In 1966, he was hired as a professor at the School of Fine Arts of Casablanca and at the National School of Architecture in Rabat.[2] He was against the classification of Moroccan art as "folklore" or naïve art, and published his ideas in the literary magazine Anfas.[6] Along with his friends and colleagues Mohamed Melehi, Farid Belkahia, and others, Chabâa became involved in the modernist movement known as the Casablanca School.[7]
