Born in Morocco in 1936, Mohamed Melehi can be considered as one of the most important artists in the country. A painter, photographer, muralist and designer as well as a teacher and cultural activist, he was a leading figure in the radical Casablanca Art School and a formative leader in the artistic and cultural development of post-colonial Morocco. Melehi graduated from the École des Beaux-Arts, Tétouan, Morocco, in 1955. He further developed his studies in the Arts throughout the late 1950’s, studying painting in Seville and Madrid, honing his sculpting skills in Rome and learning about engraving in Paris. Ultimately, Melehi traveled to America where he accepted a scholarship to study at Columbia University in New York from 1962-1964. New York, excitingly at the time, was a hub for post-modern artistic development – the Abstract Expressionist movement and the Color Field movement played a pivotal role to the burgeoning art scene that Melehi experienced during his time there.
