What the title says is what you get: art produced by Macke during his 1914 travel in Tunis and the interior of Morocco, accompanied by fellow artists Paul Klee and Louis Mouillet. Although the trip lasted only a few weeks, Macke produced 38 watercolors, 110 drawings, and hundreds of sketches. I especially appreciated the inclusion of his many photos, of which only the few "best" are usually reproduced.

In the months following his return to Germany, Macke created 36 paintings based on the material from his travels. He was drafted into the army in the fall of the same year and fell at the front in France only weeks later.
