Abderrahmane Rahoule (1944) - Village

Abderrahmane RAHOULE (1944) — "Village" — Rare Original Artist's Proof (EA), dated 1995
​Lot Description
‌A graphical masterwork by a major figure of Moroccan modernity.
We are pleased to present a superb original print (lithograph/serigraphy) signed and dated by the Moroccan master Abderrahmane Rahoule, created in 1995. This piece is an Artist's Proof (EA), a confidential and highly sought-after print historically reserved for the artist's personal use outside classic commercial circuits.
The work perfectly illustrates Rahoule's famous architectural period. Through a play of interlocking geometric shapes (cubes, arches, domes), the artist deconstructs with immense poetry the urban landscape of traditional medinas. The chromatic palette — a subtle blend of ochres, pink, grey-blue, and green — beautifully captures the light and testifies to the aesthetic investigations of the Casablanca School.
