The group exhibition \u201cPerspectives on the Casablanca School, 1962\u20131987,\u201d currently on view at the AA Gallery, despite featuring major works often drawn from private collections, does not always help to shed light on the matter.   <\/p><p>The key figures in this movement are indeed well represented, though in an almost anecdotal manner, notably through a 1970 cellulose-based painting on panel by Melehi and a striking 1974 work on panel by Chab\u00e2a, featuring a victorious fist at its center. The artist had just spent two years in prison, and the spirit of resistance still seemed deeply ingrained in him. The exhibition also focuses on Ahmed Cherkaoui, a pioneer of the Casablanca School and of abstraction in Morocco, featuring four remarkable works by him in ink and mixed media on cardboard.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06d4ee3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"06d4ee3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bce1a5f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bce1a5f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1001\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0004.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-21527\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0004.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0004-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0004-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0004-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-572a920 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"572a920\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Hassan Slaoui, <i>Parallelepiped<\/i>, 1980.

Starting with Maurice Arama, director of the School of Fine Arts from 1960 to 1962, who moved the school from the medina to Boulevard Rachidi, where it remains today, as recalled by the monumental chronological frieze with its psychedelic design that opens the exhibition. His painting <i>The Conductor<\/i>, dated 1965, is\u2014along with <i>The Bullfighter in Love<\/i> by Andr\u00e9 Elbaz (1962), one of the curiosities of this exhibition.  <\/p><p>After bringing former students who have become artists\u2014such as Abderrahmane Rahoule and Karim Bennani\u2014back into the spotlight, the gallery directed by Jacques-Antoine Gannat is now turning its attention to artists sometimes overlooked by official histories, such as Hamid Alaoui, who headed the school in 1974. His silkscreen prints are every bit as masterful as the graphic artistry of Melehi or Chab\u00e2a. From Baghdad Benas, who studied at the School of Fine Arts in the 1970s, a 1977 ink-on-paper work astonishes with its surrealist inspiration, halfway between the painting imbued with folk legends of Moulay Ahmed Drissi and the magically strange universe of Saladi.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a998df1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a998df1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d71308 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6d71308\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1002\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0007.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-21528\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0007.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0007-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0007-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0007-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1d3200 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d1d3200\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">View of the exhibition \u201cPerspectives on the Casablanca School\u201d at the African Arty Gallery.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4992b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"b4992b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd8f305 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cd8f305\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Nevertheless, despite their visual beauty, the inclusion of works by Miloud Labied, Bellamine, and Hassan Slaoui raises questions about the appropriateness of linking them to a movement with which they may share nothing more than the language of abstraction. Bellamine\u2019s superb panel painting owes far more to the \u00c9cole de Paris and to Nicolas de Sta\u00ebl than to the \u00c9cole de Casa. Hassan Slaoui\u2019s wood sculptures engage in a more fruitful dialogue with artisanal traditions than with the movement\u2019s modernizing imperatives. Such associations, which are undoubtedly not coincidental, could serve to boost these artists\u2019 market value, in accordance with well-established market logic.   <\/p><p><b>Exhibition \u201cPerspectives on the Casablanca School, 1962\u20131987,\u201d AA Gallery, Casablanca, through September 15, 2026<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-230d1ca elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"230d1ca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f46d71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6f46d71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1001\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0011.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-21529\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0011.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0011-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0011-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/IMG-20260622-WA0011-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ceaf70c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ceaf70c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">View of the exhibition \u201cPerspectives on the Casablanca School\u201d at the African Arty Gallery.<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a96835c elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"a96835c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a0c82bb elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a0c82bb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Karim-Bennani-Sans-Titre-1975-Acrylique-sur-toile-60x60-cm.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-21531\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Karim-Bennani-Sans-Titre-1975-Acrylique-sur-toile-60x60-cm.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Karim-Bennani-Sans-Titre-1975-Acrylique-sur-toile-60x60-cm-300x295.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Karim-Bennani-Sans-Titre-1975-Acrylique-sur-toile-60x60-cm-1024x1008.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.diptykmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Karim-Bennani-Sans-Titre-1975-Acrylique-sur-toile-60x60-cm-768x756.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a6d62a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9a6d62a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Karim Bennani, <i>Untitled<\/i>, 1975.
