Remembering one of the best artists ever, Rachid Taha 💙 !! His work is incredible and he made the world sing and dance to his wonderful music. I miss him every day.

J'arrive pas à croire que ça fait déjà 5 ans que tu es parti.

MWW Artwork of the Day (12/30/23) Hocine Ziani (Algerian, born 1953) La nuit de la fuite en Égypte (2015) Oil on canvas, 120 x 160 cm. Dürr Foundation collection, Germany

Combining realism with hyperrealism, Ziani's work depicts the different shades of his native Algeria and all aspects of life in the Sahara, the place where he mastered color, composition and perspective. The background of many of Ziani's paintings resemble the luminous, romantic dust of an on-coming mirage, heightening the drama of his otherwise simple scenes. The result is a sobering and clean composition injected with the artist's distinct tonal range and talent for shadow and light.

Zaida Ben-Yusuf

Portrait photographer Zaida Ben-Yusuf was born in London in 1869. Ben-Yusuf photographed some of the most prominent literary, political, and artistic figures of her time, including Theodore Roosevelt, Grover Cleveland, Jacob Riis, and Leonard Wood. Instead of following traditional portrait conventions, she drew inspiration from artists and pictorial photographers of her day. The famous, exclusive Linked Ring photography society included Ben-Yusuf's work in an 1896 exhibition. The following year, she was included in F. Holland Day's exhibition at the Royal Photographic Society. In 1898, Ben-Yusuf exhibited at the Camera Club of New York.

Zaida Ben-Yusuf died in 1933 at the age of 63. In 2008, the National Portrait Gallery hosted an exhibition devoted to her life and work.

Jade Divhejah, is a pain in the ass for many and a joy for others. Mischievous as a storm and strong like a hurricane, it’s sad that his personal life is so awful.
