Mid Century Parisian Cityscape, street view, by noted Spanish artist Alejo Vidal-Quadras. The painting is signed and dated bottom right and is presented in a period wood frame. An original exhibition label with the title is front, bottom centre. There are also various other exhibition labels to the rear panel including one for the Mirador Galerie d'Art, 17 Place Vendome Paris. A really spectacular street view of a typical Parisian building, apartments and shops, with all its various residents. Full of colour and character capturing everyday Parisian life in the 1940's but full of wit and charm. The painting is full of the artist's observations, each time one takes a look another charming detail is revealed, the shop sign, the dog, the washing...... Vidal-Quadras painted this work upon his return to Paris from South America in 1947 and it may have been part of his highly successful exhibition in 1949 which launched his European career and led to such international reknown. It was also apparently shown in 1953 at a Spanish American exhibition. This is an important painting in the oeuvre of the artist. Alejo Vidal-Quadras Veiga was born on April 12, 1919, in the upper bourgeoisie of Barcelona, Spain. Alejo and his elder brother Francisco Javier Vidal-Quadras Veiga receive a highly disciplined education. In 1924 their parents Javier Vidal-Quadras y Villavecchia and Pilar Veiga de la Cuesta, move with them to France. Alejo is eleven years old when they return to Spain. At school, Alejo is recognized for his artistic talents. During his classes he draws caricatures of his teachers. On his mother’s advice he joins the painting classes of José Maria Vidal-Quadras, his uncle and a portraitist of great Catalan families. Alejo is an immediate stand out, his spectacular progress marks him as a true artist. Felipe Bertran Güell, a relative of the Vidal-Quadras, commissions from the young man a series of pen and...
