About the Item

Colourful Expressionist oil on canvas view of a market scene by A Monis. The painting is signed and dated bottom right and presented in a magnificent custom gilt wood frame. Provenance: Private French collection, by repute acquired in Gabon This charming, vibrant painting captures a dynamic scene of five women at a market, set against a lush, tropical backdrop. The painting employs a rich palette of vivid colours, including deep blues, fiery reds, and lush yellows, which blend seamlessly to create a sense of movement and vitality. The figures, lacking detailed facial features, evoke a sense of universality and anonymity, inviting the viewer to focus on the shared experience depicted. The swirling, gestural brushstrokes convey both energy and flow, drawing the eye throughout the composition. Intriguingly, the foliage creates a canopy-like effect, adding depth and framing the figures. The use of light and shadow suggests a natural setting while the presence of bright colours imbues the scene with an air of celebration and camaraderie. This artwork stands out for its bold use of colour and expressive style, capturing the essence of community. The composition, colour and handling of the figures is reminiscent of the paintings of Othon Friesz who may have been an influence on the artist.

Expressionist Cafe Scene, Bagnoles, Au Casino, Circle of Fikret Saygi Moualla
Located in Cotignac, FR
Mid 20th Century French Expressionist gouache and watercolour on paper of a café scene. The painting is signed bottom right but as yet undeciphered. The work is titled to the back of the framing 'Bagnoles. Au Casino' and numbered. Presented in plain wood frame under glass, probably the artist's original framing. A lively and colourful scene of waiters serving their patrons in the bar of a casino. The servers are dressed in crisp linen jackets, black trousers, bow ties whilst balancing their trays of drinks. The customers are dressed in all their colourful finery for an evening at the tables. The artist has captured the feeling of the scene, noise, bustle, conversations and excitement. Bold splashes of colour animate the scene and create an almost Fauvist perspective. The painting in style, execution and subject matter is very much like the work of Fikret Muallâ who was painting at this period. Fikret Muallâ Saygı ) was a 20th-century avant-garde painter of Turkish descent. His work reflects influences from Expressionism and Fauvism, with subject matter focusing on Paris street life, social gatherings such as cafés and circuses. Though born in Istanbul he spent much of his career painting in Paris...
