About the Item

Title: Modern French Oil Painting Architectural Street Scene with Expressive Sky by Bernadette Kelly (French b. 1933) Unsigned Medium: oil painting on board, unframed Painting size: 9 inches (height) x 7.75 inches (width) Condition: overall good and sound Provenance: all the paintings we have for sale by this artist have come from their estate in Paris, France. Description: This modern French oil painting by Bernadette Kelly presents a striking architectural street scene framed by two darkened buildings that draw the eye toward a central sunlit structure The expressive brushwork and soft muted palette of ochres greys and deep blues create a compelling contrast between shadow and light while the dynamic sky overhead adds movement and depth to the composition Kelly’s loose impressionistic approach captures the atmospheric essence of a quiet street possibly in a historic village or town The rough textures and layered paint application enhance the raw expressive quality of the scene while the open sky filled with dramatic swirling clouds brings a sense of openness and airiness to the otherwise enclosed perspective The interplay of architectural forms and gestural strokes suggests an appreciation for both urban structure and natural light A wonderful addition to any collection of 20th century French architectural or landscape art this painting is perfect for those who appreciate expressive cityscapes dynamic compositions and the timeless charm of European streetscapes

Paris, rue des Solitaires, oil painting by Pierre Coquet
Located in Montfort l’Amaury, FR
Paris, rue des Solitaires, oil painting by Pierre Coquet Reference number F489 The painting is framed with a natural oak floated frame. 65 x 50 cm (70 x 55 cm frame included) This work is painted with oil on a paper that is laid on a board and placed in a made to measure wood strectcher. It is signed in the low right Paris is one of Pierre most important subjects. Pierre's Paris is always depicted in a grey atmosphere. Buildings are stylized but the city is recognizable with its typical grey galvanised steel and orange terracota chimneys. The composition here is a little atypical, as there is a certain symmetry between the top and bottom of the painting. You could almost turn it upside down, there's a kind of mirror effect. The support for the painting is a cardboard box salvaged from the art school where he taught (Corvisart-Paris). The students used it to protect their tables. Pierre kept them and painted on them, and we can see little drawings or annotations made by students who had fun scribbling on them. Provenance : Workshop of the artist (stamped and numbered on the back) About Pierre : Pierre Coquet (1926-2021) is a French painter who was born in Limas near Lyon, France. He entered the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Lyon in 1942 and followed the teaching of Antoine Chartres, Henri Vielly and René Chancrin...
