Parisian Stroll, 1950s, Oil on Canvas, Framed for sale at Pamono

Description

A captivating mid-century modernist painting that presents a dynamic street scene in Paris, executed in oil onto canvas. The composition captures the movement of pedestrians strolling along a wet boulevard, their reflections shimmering on the glistening pavement. Bare winter trees line the street, leading the eye toward a hazy backdrop of grand Parisian architecture. The figures are loosely defined yet expressive, evoking a sense of anonymity. Containing elements of impressionism, the painting emphasises mood and atmosphere over fine detail. The loose, gestural brushwork creates a sense of movement and transience, wonderfully capturing this fleeting moment in time. The artist has used a restrained, muted palette dominated by shades of blue and grey, punctuated by small bursts of warmer tones soft yellows and reds. The painting features bold, textured brushstrokes applied with both brushes and palette knives, contributing to its distinctive depth and energy. This oil on canvas is housed in a very well suited wood frame with an inner linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Size: 40.5 x 48.5 cm (including frame)
