About the Item

Dimension with frame 84 cm H x 104 cm W x 4 cm D Dimension without frame 73 cm H x 92 cm W x 2 cm D Beautiful Parisian view with a spectacular light. In the foreground the waters of the Seine and the boats on the shore, then Le Pont Neuf and in the background the beautiful buildings and towers of the city. ABOUT THE ARTIST Spanish artist Joan Raset was born in 1938 in Barcelona. Raset was trained, and worked in technical architecture, but abandoned it in the 1970s for fine art. He started attending the Cercle Artistic de Sant Lluc and later the Cercle Real in Barcelona. He was initially attracted to abstract painting, and also created signs for discothèques and nightclubs in trendy cities along the costa. But he also spent time on pastel portraiture and more figurative work, to which he attributes his eventual artistic development.  Already his pastel work was distinctive and it resulted in a publishing contract with Editorial Parragón. El Desnudo femenino al Pastel (The female Nude in Pastel) was one of his most popular works. At the end of the 1980s Raset launched into oil paintings, practically with the same concept and graphics as his pastel paintings. In 1992 he met Sam Benady,  art dealer and gallery owner, at the Miami Art Fair Art-Miami, and they began a business relationship and good friendship. Until the end of his live, in 2017, Raset used to paint in his garden, and home studio, next to the Mediterranean in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Girona.

Printemps
By Charles Levier
Located in Costa Mesa, CA
A beautiful woman sits at an open window, gazing down at a small bird who has landed nearby in this serene portrait by Charles Levier. Warm orange tones are played off their complements in shades of blue, the artist utilizing several different layers of oils to create a subtle and relaxed view of a spring day near the sea. Beyond the window a small chapel sits on a peninsula, surrounded tranquil blue waters. This work, like many of Levier's, belongs to the French figurative movement of the Glorious Thirty (Les Trente Glorieuses) - the golden period of thirty years after WWII which were a time of great hope and prosperity in France. Inspired by Hollywood cinema, Charles Levier sought harmony in composition and purity of color and form. His said that his creations represented "a light and delicate world, of dark and subtle shades and colors." Levier worked in a somewhat abstracted, cubist style. Additionally he often employed the French technique of "cloisonnism" (after the French for "partition"), a style of post-Impressionist painting with bold and flat forms separated by dark contours, also seen in this work. The term was coined by critic Edouard Dujardin on the occasion of the Salon des Indépendants, in March 1888 and was commonly used by artists like Émile Bernard, Louis Anquetin, Paul...
