The artwork titled “Two Moroccan Women” was created by Gerda Wegener and belongs to the Art Deco and Orientalism movements. It is a portrait genre painting.
The artwork depicts two women adorned in traditional Moroccan attire, showcasing the intricate patterns and vibrant colors characteristic of the region’s cultural attire. The attention to detail in their clothing and jewelry highlights the influence of Art Deco’s emphasis on lavish and decorative aesthetics. The soft yet defined lines and use of color create a scene that is both elegant and expressive. In the background, elements suggesting a Moroccan landscape, such as palm trees and architectural features, add to the artwork’s evocative representation of the Orientalism movement.
