Catalogue Note
A partir de 1932, et pour les quatre années à venir, Jacques Majorelle se passionne pour la représentation des femmes noires. La nudité des corps dans la lumière évoque un paradis perdu. Majorelle a joué avec cette lumière en utilisant des reflets métalliques pour mettre en valeur la peau noire de ses modèles sous la lune.
