About the Item
Cubist Cityscape of Lucerne
signed by Colbert Cassan (1899-1979)
oil on canvas, unframed
dated 1955
Canvas: 20 x 25.5 inches
Provenance: private collection
Condition: very good condition
Description:
This dynamic and vibrant cubist cityscape by the artist Silvanus offers a stunning interpretation of Lucerne, Switzerland, as seen through the fragmented, angular lens of mid-20th century modernism. Signed and dated 1955 in the lower-left corner, this oil on canvas showcases a captivating interplay of geometric shapes, color contrasts, and architectural motifs, evoking the bustling atmosphere of Lucerne’s historic old town with its iconic rooftops, medieval towers, and bridges.
Rendered in bold, overlapping planes of reds, blues, and grays, the painting creates a multi-dimensional, almost kaleidoscopic perspective of the city. At the center of the composition, Lucerne’s famed monuments and historic structures are reimagined as complex, interlocking forms that hint at movement and energy. A stylized steamship marked "Rigi" appears in the lower center, referencing Lucerne's picturesque surroundings and lake culture. The foreground features distinctive signs and symbols, while the background mountains anchor the composition with a sense of place.
