“A great part of the history of Morocco relates to tradition, ranging from oral culture to architecture, including various arts illumination, calligraphy, sculpture, tattooing..., - and crafts cabinet-making, ironwork, pottery, weaving, gold work...-; a tradition which handed down from one generation to the next satisfies the aspirations of each period, while embracing the opposition between ancient and modern . It should be said that Moroccan art, by gradually developing its forms and materials, became a model, therefore avoiding the tradition/modernity opposition as well as the era of simulation.”
