MOHAMED MELEHI Print African Wave III
Est: $250 - $500
21.25' H x 23.75" W x 1.25' D; "Melehi attended the Escuela Preparatoria de Bellas Artes in Tétouan--the first school dedicated to fine art in Morocco--between 1953 and 1955. He continued his artistic training abroad at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome, the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and at Columbia University in New York. Upon returning to Morocco, he taught at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Casablanca from 1964 to 1969. Melehi is credited with founding the ""Casablanca Group,"" which formed in response to Morocco's political independence from France and Spain in 1956. In a spirit of nationalist pride, Melehi and his colleagues rejected the Orientalist approach of their colonizers and promoted indigenous Arab culture and motifs in art, as derived from calligraphy and local crafts. Melehi organized the first exhibition of the Casablanca Group in 1965. (1) Melehi has been instrumental in promoting an indigenous art movement in Morocco by organizing shows and serving in leadership positions over several decades. He organized the ""Exposition-Manifeste"" in Marrakech Jamaa el-Fnaa Square in 1969, helped to establish the Moroccan Association of Plastic Arts (AMAP) in 1972, served as president of the Moroccan Association of Plastic Arts from 1976 to 1982, served as Director of Arts at the Ministry of Culture, Rabat, and helped to create the annual Asilah Festival of Culture as well as the Musée d'Art Contemporain in Tangier (2). - Bonhams Skinner"
