About the Item

"The Kiss," oil on canvas, French Art Nouveau school of the late 19th century, follower of Théophile Alexander Steinlen. Extremely modern and striking painting, in which the painter was freely inspired by Steinlen's painting of the same name preserved at the Musée d'Orsay, painting his own personal "Kiss" on a canvas with a monochromatic red background. The subject of the kiss is particularly popular in the years between the late 19th and early 20th centuries: iconic paintings include those of Klimt, Munch, Magritte, and Rodin. The juxtaposition with Steinlen's painting is due to the same theme of the red monochromatic background against which the scene unfolds. Measurements cm 41 x 33

Martin Borgord (1869-1935) Active in California, New York, Paris, Holland "Portrait of an Elegant Woman," oil painting on wood signed lower right and dedicated to Madame Merlet. Attended: San Francisco Art Association School of Design, Académie des Beaux-Arts de Paris, Académie Julian de Paris, New York School of Art "In the past I worked on light and shadow effects. Now I paint exclusively for unusual effects and color harmonies." It is with these words that Martin Borgord, a Norwegian-born but naturalized American painter, interviewed by a journalist from the Hartford Courant, explains our painting.Straddling the line between Impressionism and Expressionism, the elegant lady loses the sharpness of detail, blending with light and color in quick, dense brushstrokes. Excellent state of preservation.Presented in antique carved and silvered wooden frame. It has a regular Fine Arts export certificate.
