About the Item
Mid-century impressionist oil on board of a cinema forecourt. The artist is unknown but the painting is signed bottom right. Quite likely an Italian artist as the oil painting was framed under glass. Presented in its original 1950s wood and material frame.
A wonderful piece of social history capturing a moment in time in the 1940s/50s and showing the arrival of the cinema-goers on a rainy day wrapped up in their autumn clothes of typical mid-century style.
The figures are loosely but beautifully drawn with great movement; the shrug of the shoulders with hands in pockets as people come in from the rain; the gentleman stopping as he enters to allow the ladies to pass by.
The composition is beautifully balanced in both line and colour. The more muted tones of the street and building are offset with lively dashes of colour here and there on the clothing. The overall atmosphere of a cosy evening in the cinema to escape the inclement weather comes across beautifully.
A painting that really draws you in.
