Lucien Génin
Lucien Génin was known for his lush depictions of Paris. After the devastation of the First World War, Génin left his provincial home in the autumn of 1919 to find his fortune among the lively Parisians in the heart of Montmartre. Not concerning himself with producing art, he beautifully captured the spirit of Paris between the wars while enjoying a truly Bohemian existence. Génin's works, in all their forms, perfectly convey the eclectic and friendly characters of the city.

- 'Chinatown San Francisco at Twilight', French School (circa 1950s)Located in London, GB'Chinatown San Francisco at Twilight', ink and gouache, diptych on card stock, French School (circa 1950s). This artwork was discovered in Paris, France. The unnamed artist skilfully captured that magical moment at dusk when light is at its most beautiful. The scene is Chinatown, San Francisco in the 1950s. The Far East Café, depicted in this artwork was established in 1920. It is the oldest banquet-style Chinese restaurant in the city. Of course, Chinese cuisine in large cities in America has since moved on from the chop suey...Category

This is a fantastical port visit of the artist's imagination. It is a naive, but strangely compelling painting discovered in Paris.

$627 Sale Price30% Off - Chinatown, San FranciscoBy Edward Wilson CurrierLocated in London, GB'Chinatown, San Francisco', gouache on fine art paper, by Edward Wilson Currier (1903). Spofford Alley in San Francisco's Chinatown is best known for an address (number 36) where Dr. Sun Yat-Sen plotted the overthrow of China's last dynasty. During Prohibition, it was the site of turf battles over local bootlegging and protection rackets. Today it is lined with seniors' community centres. However, the quiet alley livens up in the evenings when a Chinese orchestra strikes up a tune, mah-jongg games begin with a cascade of clicking tiles, and barbers and florists use the pretence of sweeping their doorsteps to gossip. In this artist's depiction, a man smokes a long-stemmed Chinese pipe under the awning and colourful lanterns hanging from the wooden supports while a child looks on. The artwork is interesting from several standpoints including architectural, cultural and historical. Shortly after this work was painted, the neighbourhood was completely destroyed in the 1906 earthquake that levelled most of the city. From 1910 to 1940, Chinese immigrants were detained at the Angel Island...Category
