Elie Anatole Pavil
Le Cafe de la Place Blanche - Post Impressionist Oil, Figures by Elie Pavil

1915

About the Item

Signed figures in interior oil on panel circa 1915 by Russian-born post impressionist painter Elie Anatole Pavil. The piece depicts a couple in the famous "White Cross" cafe at the Place Blanche (White Square) in Paris, France. It got its name from the showers of white flour and gypsum whose mills and quarries often covered those working on and near the Montmartre hill. A man in a black jacket with his back to the artist and a blonde woman with blue eyes sitting opposite him. There are other figures sitting in the cafe. Signature: Signed lower right Dimensions: Framed: 11"x13" Unframed: 6.5"x9" Provenance: The private collection of Lina Pavil - daughter of the artist (original label verso) Pavil concentrated principally on Parisian street scenes, particularly in the Montmartre area, as well as views of the Canal de l'Ourcq and river banks. He also painted many pictures, with the same attention to detail, in Morocco, in the souks and in the port in Rabat. His exposure to the Impressionists meant that he was very sensitive to how light varied according to the time of day, season of the year, or atmospheric conditions. He lived for many years, until his death, in Morocco. Elie Pavil exhibited in Paris, at the Salon des Artistes Français (from 1905), at the Salon des Indépendants (from 1906), and at the Salon d'Automne (from 1906). In 1928, he received an honourable mention, and in 1930 and 1931 silver medals. He was made a Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur.

    Arnold Friedman studied with Robert Henri and Kenneth Hayes Miller at the Art Students League in 1905 . Yet as he developed his style he abandoned the academic influence of his teacher. He started experimenting with materials and techniques. Friedmans intimate style recalls a variety of post-impressionist artists such as Pointillism of Pisarro, Vuillard and Nabis, and perhaps even Seurat. His thick application of paint has definitive textual impasto that was influenced by his trip to Paris in 1909. In "Museum Piece...
