About the Item

Experience the romance and abstraction of 1950s Paris through this striking original mixed media drawing by the acclaimed American Modernist, Frederick E. Conway (1900–1973). This captivating work, rendered with bold strokes and a vibrant palette on paper, presents a quintessential Parisian vista overlooking the Seine River. Dating to the mid-20th century, the piece bridges traditional cityscape painting with the emerging vocabulary of Abstract Expressionism, characterised by a dynamic interplay of line, shadow, and colour. Conway masterfully utilises the mixed media technique to create texture and depth. The fluid movement and sophisticated composition capture the energy of the post-war era, transforming a static architectural view into a lively, atmospheric moment in time. The classic subject matter and mid-century style ensure this piece integrates beautifully into both contemporary and antique-filled interiors. Known for his public murals (including major WPA and corporate commissions) and his association with German Expressionist Max Beckmann, Conway was a highly regarded Modernist. This piece, executed during his mature period in the 1950s, reflects his experimentation with abstract genres while remaining grounded in representational forms. Measuring 33 x 48 cm at sight under the mount, it is signed and also indistinctly dedicated to "à Jacques....?" at the lower right. The overall framed size is 47 x 62 cm
