Art Nouveau Portrait of an Elegant man with Diamond Tie Pin with Clover. SIgned.

About the Item

Male portrait from the Art Nouveau era. An enigmatic and magnetic image of the man, on whose face there is just a hint of a smile. Technique: oil on canvas. Relined. In good condition, without frame. Signed on the right: A. Fuks. Alexander Fuks was a painter of Russian origins, who studied painting in Munich. He became a portraitist of the Bavarian upper class and aristocracy. The portrait of King Ludwig III of Bavaria is preserved in the collection of the Alte Pinacotek in Munich. Date and place of birth of the artist: Born in 1863, Nikolaev/Russia Died in Munich in 1927. It portrays an elegant standing man. Stylistically very close to the portrait of Ludwig III of Bavaria from 1913, which has been in the collection of the Bavarian museum since the 1930s. Fuks studied in Munich from 1883 to 1887, and acquired a reputation as a skilled portraitist of the Bavarian nobility and middle class, his work including portraits of Prince Regent Luitpold and King Ludwig III. Almost life-size, with a dark suit, waistcoat, white shirt and tie on which a flower-shaped brooch with three diamond dots shines. Painting that combines the sober language played on a few colors and a lively impressionist interpretation on the hands and face. A painting of great elegance and pictorial quality. In good condition.

  • Adriana Pincherle (1905- 1996). A lady with a turban and green shadows.
    By Adriana Pincherle
    Located in Firenze, IT
    Adriana Pincherle, (1905, Rome - 1996, Florence). A lady with a turban and green shadows in a landscape. Italian female painter, active in Rome and from 1943 in Florence. Painting signed and dated lower right: Adriana Pincherle. 1973. Oil painting on canvas. The simple composition, which represents a woman from behind, bears the influence of Matisse's avant-garde style, with bold and refined color combinations. The shape is created with color, creating an almost surreal and highly expressive effect. The painter once said: "My painting has always been figurative, not realistic. In this sense I felt very similar to the Informal movement, which, fundamentally, pushed my passion for color to the extreme." FREE SHIPPING in Italy and Europe Artist Biography: Pincherle Adriana Rome 25 December 1905 - Florence 8 January 1996 Adriana was born in Rome on 25 December 1905, into a family in which two cultures were intertwined: the Jewish one of her father, the engineer Carlo Pincherle, of Venetian origins and in love with painting, and the Catholic one of her mother, Isa di she. De Marsanich, a noble but decayed Hungarian. Adriana is the eldest child and two years older than her brother Alberto, known to the literary world under the pseudonym Alberto Moravia As Pincherle herself says about her, as a child she spent hours admiring her father who painted watercolours, and it was perhaps then that her interest in drawing and above all her particular sensitivity towards color was born. Thus, having completed her classical studies, she began to attend the "ladies" atelier of the engraver Alfredo Petrucci and the free nude courses at the Academy, where she met Mimmo Spadini and Scipione, and came into contact with Roman art. In 1931 she made her debut at the collective "First Roman exhibition of female art" at the "Galleria di Roma", while the following year, at the same gallery, she exhibited a solo show together with Corrado Cagli, already attracting the attention of critics, famous comment by Longhi, cited several times by Pincherle herself, who prefers the "sissy" between the two artists. As evidence of the results achieved by Adriana since her first works, we remember that among her works presented in 1932 there was also the famous "Standing Self-Portrait", now in the Uffizi Pincherle's growth passes through places and periods common to both the Roman School and the school of painters of the via Cavour group (Mafai, Raphaël, Scipione), with tangents and deviations, but his pictorial research arrives at original solutions independent of any label . Fundamental to the maturation of her art was her stay in Paris in 1933, in which Pincherle admired and studied closely the Fauves, Renoir and in particular Matisse. In the same year she exhibited for the first time in Florence at the Sala d'arte delle Nazioni with Milena Barilli...
