"Six Scenes with Male Nudes, " Drawings from Morocco by Jacques Azéma, 1946
About the Item
A remarkable ensemble of drawings dating to 1946, on one sheet of paper, each scene depicting one or more male nude figures, this work displays the stylization and mannerism that is suggestive of Le Corbusier and his contemporaries. The artist was Jacques Azéma, a French artist who become fascinated with Morocco and its people, and spent most of his artistic life there. He was especially interested in the nation's young men, and depicted them again and again as they sat in the hammams or courtyards of Marrakech, often drinking tea or smoking a pipe. He settled there in 1930, teaching for years at the École des Beaux-Arts in Casablanca, and working in the medina. As M-F Giacolette and C. Gonzáles-Aller noted, "“His small-format paintings are like jewels that reveal a dreamlike representation of Morocco, a landscape of the unconscious whose pictorial language is closer to that of a true Surrealist inspired by Giorgio de Chirico or Pierre Puvis de Chavannes." An important exhibition of Azéma's work was recently organized by Musée YVES SAINT LAURENT Marrakech. The drawing is ink on paper; the artist's monogram is in the lower-right corner.

To the left, silhouetted against the dark background, a pair of stylized geese -- evidently his target -- are shown flying upward. The sun which dapples the figure of the archer highlights his lithe musculature, and the artist -- Erwin Stolz -- gives the same close attention to the landscape behind. Stolz was well connected to the artistic elite of Vienna, and was friends with Alexander Rothaug...Category
