Abdellatif Zine (1940–2016) was a Moroccan painter. He was the founding president of both the National Association of Plastic Arts and the Union of Moroccan Plastic Artists.[1]
Zine was born in Marrakesh and studied at L’Ecole des Beaux Arts in Casablanca, and subsequently at the Beaux-Arts de Paris in Paris. His paintings were exhibited internationally since 1960.[2]
Zine produced paintings in bright colors, often related to Moroccan folklore.[1][3] He also explored connections between painting and Gnawa music.[4]
He died on 20 December 2016 and was buried on Casablanca's Achouhada Cemetery.[2]
