Ahmed Ben Driss El Yacoubi, (Moroccan 1928-1985), Untitled; Oil on board, 36.2 x 48cm. Provenance: Gifted by the artist to his friend the American author and composer Paul Bowles (1910-1999) from whom it was purchased by the present vendor Note: Ahmed Yacoubi was the first Moroccan artist to exhibit and receive international acclaim. While translating for some tourists, the American writer and composer, Paul Bowles and his wife, playwright, Jane Bowles, Ahmed drew pictures to better communicate the meanings of Arabic and Moghrebi words to them. The Bowles recognized his unique talent, resulting in a few local exhibitions and his first one-man show at the Betty Parsons Gallery, NY in 1952 where his vivid and imaginative ink drawings were shown. Peggy Guggenheim exhibited three of his drawings in her Venice Palazzo Show and later purchased them for her private collection.
