Baya

Algerian painter (1931-1998) · Algeria · On the map · Artists · Died at 66

Baya Mahieddine or Fatima Haddad was an Algerian artist. While she did not identify her work as belonging to a particular art genre, critics have classified her paintings as surrealist, primitive, naïve, and modern. She was an entirely self-taught artist, working both as a painter and, to a lesser extent, in pottery.
