A French artist who came to Marrakech in 1930. His paintings, influenced by Symbolism, show his unique view of Morocco. He significantly impacted Moroccan artists in Marrakech and Casablanca, where he taught at the École des Beaux-Arts for many years. He lived in the medina near his subjects. Most of his work is homoerotic, showcasing the men in his life. The Musee Yves Saint-Laurent had a major exhibition of his work in 2020.
