About the Item

Théophile Jean DELAYE Drôme, 1896 – Drôme, 1970 Souk in Marrakech Gouache 34 x 24 cm (48 x 38 cm with frame) Signed and titled lower left "Souk in Marrakech / Théophile Jean Delaye" Beautiful original solid wood frame Very good condition Théophile Jean Delaye is a painter and illustrator who discovered and devoted himself to highlight Morocco in the 1930s and 1940s. He created book illustrations for Éditions Arthaud in the "Les Beaux Pays" collection. After the Second World War, he settled in Rabat, Morocco, and continued his work for Morocco (for example, he contributed to the creation of the Toubkal Natural Park). In 1937, he illustrated a book entitled "Promenades à Marrakech" by Marc de Mazières (Paris, Horizons de France, 1937). Our work is a beautiful gouache with a view of the souk in Marrakech. It is signed and located. The sense of light is remarkable, as is the moderation of the values ​​in the whites and beiges, as well as the precision of the drawing by a painter who was also a topographer. In 2022, the Villa Majorelle in Marrakech dedicated an exhibition to him ("From Map to Landscape, Théophile-Jean Delaye in Morocco").

Taroudant

Signed, inscribed and dated "R. Pinatel / Taroudant / 1926" (lower right) Oil on panel A stunning ode to the Moroccan landscape, this oil on panel was composed by the French Orientalist painter Raphaël Pinatel, whose lively works adeptly translated the romanticism of the East for a Western audience. The present work, which captures a market in Taroudant, a city in southeastern Morocco, exemplifies the artist’s distinctive approach as he brilliantly translates the energy and atmosphere of the desert city. Pinatel’s style is impressionistic in his brushwork and handling of light and atmosphere. In the present work, he brilliantly captures the effects of the direct desert sun...
