Maurice BOUVIOLLE (1893-1971) Sheep market scene in Boghari, 1930 Oil on canvas. Signed, located and dated lower right. 64 x 100 cm General bibliography on the artist: E. CAZENAVE, Maurice Bouviolle, painter, writer of the M'Zab, 1893-1971, association Abd-el-Tif, 2003. It is his military service that led him to Algeria. The sites and the daily life of the Sahel and the South fascinated him. Bouviolle won the competition for the Abd-el-Tif villa prize in 1921 with his friend Jean Bouchaud. In 1922, Rochegrosse took him in esteem and advised him to exhibit one of his paintings at the Salon des Artistes Français: Marché à Ghardaïa. The success is total. He received the great artistic prize of Algeria in 1931. Bouviolle's public success was to be confirmed; he frequently exhibited, in particular his highly acclaimed Diorama on the seven cities of M'Zab in 1931 at the Colonial Exhibition. Some of his works are kept in the Museum of Fine Arts in Algiers.
