Global InformationJilali Gharbaoui information
Jilali Gharbaoui (Arabic: الجيلالي الغرباوي; 1930–1971) was a Moroccan painter and sculptor from Jorf El Melha.[1] He is considered, along with Ahmed Cherkaoui, a pioneer of modernist art in Morocco.[1] Unlike other Moroccan modernist artists, his abstraction was based in brushstrokes and the "materiality of the paint" as opposed to Moroccan culture.[2] Gharbaoui suffered from severe mental illness and died of suicide in Paris in 1971.[1]
