Gorgi, a rediscovery

TUNIS – He is truly outside of Tunisia, which proves borders are not as pervious as is said… Abdelaziz Gorgi (1928-2008) had a long career that started right after the country’s independence, and during which he produced easel paintings as well as large public decorations, inspired by Klee and Adami. His daughter, who owns one of the better art galleries in the country, at Sidi Bou Saïd, is the linchpin of this monograph that includes some 300 works and fits his career into the more general framework of the School of Tunis.
