André Elbaz

André Elbaz (born April 26, 1934, El Jadida, Morocco) is a Moroccan painter and filmmaker.

A few years later, he managed to combine his two passions into a new approach in art-therapy, inventing together with his wife, a psychiatrist, the Pictodrame, which brought him world recognition.

One of them, La nuit n'est jamais complète (The night is never complete), won a prize at the "5th Biennale de Paris in 1967" .

[citation needed] Among the themes chosen for the many films he produced, there was a short one about the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, as well as a series of drawings entitled Seuls (Alone), with texts written by both Elie Wiesel and Naim Kattan.

His paintings are famous for boasting traditional Jewish themes and he often present them in a chiefly expressionist style.
