Catalogue Note
Les Amandiers en fleur à Tazoult, vallée de Sektana, tout comme Vue de l'Oujila dans la vallée du Souss, ont été peints lors d'une expédition de Majorelle dans l'Atlas en 1927. Majorelle parvient à exprimer, au moyen de couleurs simples issues de la terre, toute la rudesse du Sektana, dont l'aridité ne permet que la culture des amandiers étalés en paliers sur les flancs des collines.
