Hossein Talal

Hocein Talal (; 1942– February 19, 2022), was a Moroccan painter. He was the son of Chaïbia Talal, one of the leading figures of contemporary Moroccan art. His name is also written as Hossein Tallal.

Biography Talal was born in 1942 in Chtouka (El Jadida Province), while his mother Chaïbia, married to a 70-year old man, was only 14. One year later, his father died, and his widowed mother raised him alone. She worked as a maid to earn money to support herself and her son.

Starting in 1967, Hocein was introduced to the visual art world, for which his mother had a big interest. He participated in numerous exhibitions around the world, including Galerie la Roue à Paris (1967), Salon de Mai of the Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris (1974), and many other exhibitions in Morocco, but also in Spain, Denmark, USA and Egypt.
