Francisco Sillué the "Bookseller" of Paris

About the Item

Fabulous oil painting called "Bouquiniste" by Spanish Artist Francisco Sillue. Rich colors with various hues of green capture this unique moment on the streets of Paris. The subject matter of the bookseller sitting by his stand and the cameos of those passing by creates great movement in this painting. Sillue painted in Paris, Norway and Sweden in the 1960s then moving to London and eventually ending in Sitges near Barcelona. Signed on the canvas Francesco Sillue / Paris and on verso. With more than 60 solo exhibitions, Sillue's work has been exhibited widely in galleries throughout Spain, Holland, Portugal, Norway, Germany, England, Columbia, Switzerland, France and the United States. Another painting by this same artist of Gypsies is also available.

  • Bertrand Dorny Abstract Modern Painting Circa 1963
    By Bertrand Dorny
    Located in New York, NY
    Stunning and masterfully created abstract oil painting by French artist Bertrand Dorny (1931-2015) circa 1963. He lives in the rich world of color and shapes that are constantly moving. Dorny’s colors are occasionally in subtle dialogue with nature and are one of several devices that make his visual language accessible to us. He worked at the ‘Ateliers’ of André Lhote and Johnny Friedlaender. He built his work by deriving accepted techniques such as engraving, collage or folding paper to achieve a personal style in addition to his early paintings. He also taught at the Ecole de la Grande Chaumiere and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. The themes of the walk, the progressing path, the network of forms in space are at the center of his work. There are many lithographs of his work but rare to find such a pristine oil painting. He's definitely a 20th century artist whose work is under the radar. Provenance: Estate of Roger Prigent - Malmaison. Colors may vary due to room lighting. It is found in an original period aluminum frame.
