Catalogue Note
Vue de Oulija dans la vallée de Souss reflète l'intérêt persistant de l'artiste pour l'architecture (qu'il étudia lors de sa formation). Pour représenter ces kasbahs, Majorelle simplifie son dessin, estompe les détails, et articule les masses entre elles afin de rendre la structure d'ensemble de l'architecture.
