Noureddine Khayachi: “Musician”
This program reproduces a work by Noureddine Khayachi (1918-1987), representing a woman in traditional city clothing playing the violin, seated on a carpet.
Khayachi is the painter of Tunisian elegance and intimacy. This “Musician” illustrates the refinement of domestic cultural life. The violin, the central instrument of Malouf (Tunisian classical music), symbolizes here the harmony between clothing tradition and scholarly artistic practice.
