Baya

Baya was a groundbreaking 20th century Algerian artist known for vibrantly colourful, geometric paintings rooted in her homeland’s creative and natural surroundings. Through more than 100 watercolours and ceramic sculptures, Tate Modern’s landmark exhibition (the UK’s very first solo exhibition of Baya’s work) will bring to light her genre-defying but distinctly modernist oeuvre, and its impact on artists and thinkers including Pablo Picasso and André Breton.
