Sufismo y devoción popular en la pintura tangerina de Josep Tapiró Baró (Reus 1836-Tánger 1913): Los bustos de santones y La fiesta de los issawa.

Abstract

The article studies the portraits of dervishes and the traditional scenes of the Islamic brotherhoods carried out by the orientalist painter Josep Tapiro Baro (Reus 1836 - Tangier 1913). Formal language and its iconography are analyzed in relation to the photographs of human types and Moroccan customs taken in Tangier in the last third of the 19th century and the first years of the 20th century. It also reflects on the ethnographic realism of which the works of Tapiro are outstanding exponents.
