Catalogue Note
Majorelle peint ces fougères à Ton Kui, montagne de l’Ouest de la Côte d’Ivoire. Elles témoignent du dernier séjour de l'artiste en Afrique noire en 1952. Ce sujet nous renvoie au célèbre jardin exotique que le peintre aménagea autour de sa villa-atelier de Marrakech et pour laquelle il rapportait de nombreuses variétés de plantes de ses voyages. Majorelle affectionnait particulièrement ces fougères. Il en peignit de nombreuses versions qu'il offrait à ses amis. Voir l'illustration à la page suivante.
