Catalogue Note
La place de Ghardaïa est le sujet fétiche de Bouviolle. L'une des cinq villes du Mzab, fondée en 1053, Ghardaïa est construite, comme les autres villes mozabites, autour d'une unique mosquée dont le minaret domine la ville. La vie sociale de Ghardaïa, concentrée sur la grand-place située à l'extérieur de la ville, tourne autour de l'activité des hommes, bergers et marchands principalement. On n'y voit que rarement des femmes.
Bouviolle, boursier à la villa Abd-el-Tif en 1921, s'installe définitivement en Algérie. Il fait de courts séjours à Alger, où il expose regulièrement, mais réside surtout dans le Mzab (région située à une centaine de kilomètres au Sud de Laghouat, au nord du Sahara), ce qui lui vaudra le surnom de "peintre du Mzab".
