LAGZOULI
Popular painter from Morocco
Lagzouli, the painter of Sale, who, with a sense of observation filled with poesy, shows the
busy life of his medina, the customs and habits of a traditional society diving slowly but
surely towards a city life under the influence of tourists, which he paints with pleasing irony.

CHERI SAMBA
Samba's work is a reflection of a place as well as a society in which he lives and evolves.
He represents this society in all its aspects, without concessions or modesty. Cultural
phenomena, social agitation, the political world, all these elements are the subjects for his painting. |

BAYA
From Picasso to Andre Breton, the journey of an algerien painter.

FEMININE AFRICA
Sent by Reuters to West Africa for a two year assignment, Sophie Elbaz covered news events for

She wanted to present this "other world". |
SEINI CAMARA
At the market of Bignona, you cannot identify Seni Camara easily in the middle of the crowd. But somehow, underneath the appearance of a calm villager, this woman sculptor is a strange
person with a behavior as anachronic as it is curious. |

GLASS PAINTINGS FROM SENEGAL
The art of "souwer" (glass paintings) is unique to Senegal. Developed originally to remedy the lack of religious images, the images have been diversified throughout the years and provide us with a kaleidoscopic history of this country. |
