Roger Lersy
Rue dans la banlieu de Paris (Street scene on the outskirts of Paris)

1953

About the Item

This exuberantly-painted Parisian street scene is typical of Lersy's colorful and energetic style. His work combines mid-century Modern abstraction with subjects beloved by the Impressionists, including scenes of everyday urban life and still lives that often feature musical instruments. The painting is signed and dated by the artist in the lower right. Roger Lersy (1920-2004) was born in Paris, in what was at the time a rather rough area near the Place Pigalle. His youth was marked by extreme poverty. Despite these early challenges, Lersy won a place to study art and music at the École des Arts Apppliqués. By 1946, when he first exhibited in Paris, Lersy had become one of the founders of the School of Paris’ New Graphic School. Lersy received the Prix des Amateurs d’Art in 1953, the Shell Prize in 1954, and the Grand Prize of the City of Marseilles in 1953. For more examples of works by Lersy, see our website - R.S. Johnson Fine Art, Chicago.
