Tate Modern will be hosting the UK's first ever solo exhibition by leading Algerian artist Baya, whose beautiful works influenced generations of artists like André Breton and Pablo Picasso.

Her groundbreaking use of bold colours and geometric patterns were rooted in the natural surroundings and musical traditions of her home, but throughout her life she always defied attempts to categorise them in terms like 'surrealist', instead choosing her own title - Baya-ism.

Her extraordinary work would have an impact far outside Algeria, stretching from her newly-independent homeland across the cultural landscapes of North Africa and Europe.

The exhibition will showcase more than 100 of her ceramic sculptures and vivid watercolours, building on the latest research to explore the complexity and experimentation at the heart of her career.
