	Marabout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A marabout is a personal spiritual leader in the Islam faith as practiced in West Africa, and still to a limited extent in the Maghreb.

		In the Muslim brotherhoods of Senegal, the marabouts are organized in elaborate hierarchies; the highest marabout of the Mourides, for example, has been elevated to the status of a ruler, almost a demigod, by the faithful.

	Matisse & the Marabout: Le marabout
		As shown by a couple of Matisse’s more ambitious works, his answer to this query is a resounding “no.” Matisse articulates this with Le marabout (1912/1913), where his contrast between East and West is much more discreet and thus more powerful as he decides that European influence in Tangier is undesirable.
		Unlike the previous sketches and Vue sur la baie de Tanger, all of which appear to have been made in relative haste, Le marabout is carefully crafted.
		This mood is portrayed, first of all, through the dome that reaches into the sky near the top of the canvas, just as it does in his drawing, Casbah: Marabout et drapeau (1912/1913).
