About the Item
A mid century Expressionist oil on canvas of a man, child and cat in an interior with a cityscape beyond. The work is not signed but there are various notations to the top rear stretcher, 'Mazilier OP 1 94'. This could refer to the artist or the subject. It could also be a title and exhibition number. A mystery yet to be solved.
It is an intriguing composition reflecting on the Expressionist movements fascination with the alienation of the individual within the city. A highly colourful painting full of energy, imparted to the picture by the thickly applied textured paint creating ripples and shapes and the deep but vibrant colours.
A moody late evening vibe is created by the artist through a choice of warm, deep colours. The smouldering red sun reflected in the television screen sits over the cityscape casting long shadows into the apartment. The artist continues this sense of evening shadow by elongating the male figure, television and door, creating a deep contrast with the small figure of the girl and the tiny clock squashed above the door.
There is balance and control in the composition through both colour and form. The red of the circular sun is balanced across the image in the television screen and the red of the girl's hair and in the circle of the clock above the door, the door and window relate to one another as do the white oblong of the skyscrapers which are echoed in the elongated white coat of the male figure. The shapes and the colours communicate as do the three faces in the painting all looking out to the viewer communicating with us. This is an intimate scene which invites the viewer in and even awaits their participation to bring it alive, a snapshot waiting to be unfrozen.
An intriguing painting of many levels which keeps the eye engaged by its mastery of shape perspective texture and colour.
The arrival of Expressionism announced new standards in the creation and judgment of art. Art was now meant to come forth from within the artist, rather than from a depiction of the external visual world, and the standard for assessing the quality of a work of art became the character of the artist's feelings rather than an analysis of the composition.
Expressionist artists often employed swirling, swaying, and exaggeratedly executed brushstrokes in the depiction of their subjects. These techniques were meant to convey the turgid emotional state of the artist reacting to the anxieties of the modern world.
Through their confrontation with the urban world of the early-20th century, Expressionist artists developed a powerful mode of social criticism in their serpentine figural renderings and bold colours. Their representations of the modern city included alienated individuals - a psychological by-product of recent urbanization - who were used to comment on capitalism's role in the emotional distancing of individuals within cities.

French Mixed Media Abstract on Canvas.
Located in Cotignac, FR
Colourful, French mixed media abstract, acrylic, newsprint and ink from the 1980s. The canvas is signed and dated bottom right but we have not yet managed to decipher it.
A colourful and engaging painting crossing over styles. The colourfield elements are reminiscent of the work of Mark Rothko, three defined bands of colour in orange/pink tones vertically dissecting the painting with one horizontal band across the top, and yet the elongated depiction of the female figures within the bands remind us of Gustav Klimt and his paintings of Adele.
The background of the painting has been worked broadly with a palette knife whilst the detail has been added quickly and deftly with ink or finer brushstrokes. With the addition of newsprint (in French) the artist may...
