Charles KvapilPost Impressionist View to the Sea, Corsica in a 'Cezanne' Landscape.1936
1936
About the Item
A post impressionist Paris School landscape, possibly of Corsica, by Belgian Artist Charles Kvapil. The painting is signed and dated bottom left. Presented in fine carved and gilt Montparnasse frame with cloth insert.
A very charming view of a farmhouse and Cyprus tree in their landscape with a view down to the sea. It is probably a view on Corsica as this is where Kvapil was mainly painting landscapes in the mid 1930s. He has created a wonderful composition. The strong, dark strength of the tree like a sentinel next to the timeworn stone and terra cotta tiles of the farmhouse. In the distance sea and sky merge in a maelstrom of clouds. The influence of Cezanne is very much evident in choice of colours and composition.
Charles Kvapil was influenced by Fauvism and by a very temperate Cubism; Paul Cézanne and, to a certain extent, Henri Matisse (as a colourist), also influenced his style.
Charles Kvapil attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. His first works were exhibited in 1908 at the Antwerp Salon. In 1911, he exhibited in Munich; His works showed a clear Cubist influence. In 1914, he exhibited again in Belgium, at the Brussels Triennial.
After WW1 he lived in Paris and set up his studio on rue d'Alésia and, years later, in Montmartre.
His first Parisian exhibition was at the Salon des Indépendants in 1920.
In Paris He frequented the Café du Parnasse and exhibited there in a small group organized by A. Clergé, "The Company of Professional Painters and Sculptors," which was formed in 1921. It includes 102 participants, including Friesz, Lagar, Ortiz de Zorate, Le Scouëzec, Astoy, Roysen, Loutreuil, Krémègne, Gallien, Gontcharova, Lebedeff, Ramey and Kvapil.
In 1923, his works were hung at Marcel Bernheim's, then at Dalpeyrat's, in Limoges, where he mainly showed landscapes. Afterwards, he participated in the Salon d'Automne; at the 1941 edition, he presented Les Phlox, and in 1944 À la Fenêtre. In 1951, at the same Salon, he exhibited Plaisir d'été and Le Goûter.
He painted many regions, including Corrèze, the Mediterranean coast, Corsica, where he stayed regularly during the 1920s and 1930s; in Paris he participated in exhibitions of Corsican painters in 1925 and 1933. In 1939, at a new exhibition of Corsican Art, at the Galerie L'Équipe, also in Paris, he presented two paintings entitled Costa brugiata, Cap Corse and Vue de Rogliano. He is also responsible for Dans l'île (1923), Querciolo, Rogliano (1923), Corsican Woman (1924), Landscape of Corsica (1933).
During his lifetime, he exhibited in Paris, Munich, Brussels, Geneva, Italy, Stockholm, London and New York.
He is now represented in many public and private collections, including the Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris, the museums of Le Havre, Libourne, Rouen, Saint-Étienne, Amsterdam and Tunis.

Charles Kvapil
Charles Kvapil was born in 1884 in Antwerp, Belgium, of Czech origin. He exhibited his first works there in 1908 at the Salon d'Anvers. After the war he attended l'Académie des Beaux-Arts in Antwerp and began to exhibit in Paris in 1920 at the Salon des Indépendants. Kvapil was known primarily as a painter of people, in particular of curvaceous nudes. He moved into a studio in Montmartre where he painted his models in the studio with Sacre Coeur as backdrop. He also painted in the countryside like the Impressionists. Kvapil's paintings are creative and modern; his nudes and bouquets of flowers are energetic and powerful. His palette is rich in cobalt blues and in fiery earth tones. His technique is intuitive and confident. Although his oils were often modestly presented on panels of wood or soft board, those formats did not detract from the evident talent he displayed nor from the joy exemplified in his paintings. His paintings are vigorously sought after when they become available at the international auction houses. He is now represented in many public and private collections including the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, in the museums of Le Havre, Rouen, Saint-Etienne, Amsterdam and Tunis. He exhibited in his lifetime in Paris, Munich, Brussels, Geneva, Rome, in Stockholm, London and New York.

- Ukrainian Israeli Woman Bezalel Artist 1947 Palestine Landscape Oil PaintingLocated in Surfside, FLAbstract landscape, oil painting This is hand signed lower right dated 1947 There is also a hand written inscription in french lower left. Moussia Toulman ( 1903-1997), Artist and poet, was born in Uman Ukraine (famed as the tomb site of Chassidic Rebbe Nachman of Breslov) and came to Israel (British mandate Palestine) when she was 19 years old. Just a few months after her arrival she married, settled in Metula however, she didn’t forgo her ambition to study art. In 1923 she enrolled to study at the Bezalel Art Institute in Jerusalem and completed her studies there in 1926. Like Ziona Tagar, who preceded her a few years earlier, Moussia Toulmann chose to become an artist-woman in the full significance of the term. She wasn’t satisfied with the local studies framework that was available and chose to continue her studies in Paris, France which at that time was considered the art capital. From 1929 onwards Musia lived in Paris, studied art and joined the ‘Independent Salon’ society. She made contacts with artists and writers and exhibited during the 1930’s in a number of select group exhibitions. In 1936 Tolman visited Israel and forged bonds with artists she studied with at Betzalel, among them Aharon Avni, Gliksberg and Avigdor Stematsky. She exhibited at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 1936 in a group exhibition with Aharon Avni, Arie Aroch, Yosef Zaritsky, Mordechai Levanon, Eliyahu Sigad, Chaya Schwartz, and Yehezkel Streichman. She painted landscapes and portraits and presented one of the works she painted in Paris to the Tel Aviv museum. It was a portrait of the poet and art critic Gustave Kahn who had died the same year. Moussia returned to Paris and exhibited a one-man show just before the outbreak of the Second World War. During the war all the works she exhibited in this exhibition were lost without a trace and Moussia Toulman herself wandered around France moving from one hiding place to another. After the war, in 1946 Moussia Toulman continued painting but was reluctant to exhibit her works. She became a well-known public figure and volunteered for aid programmes for Holocaust survivors, especially orphans. Later on she founded together with Mane Katz, Jacques Atlan and other artists the ‘Art’ organization with the object of developing cultural ties with Israel and to aid Israeli artists during their stay in Paris. In addition to painting Moussia Toulman wrote poetry, published articles and was involved in art criticism. She was included in the rare publication of 'Association des artistes, peintres et sculpteurs juifs de France' in French and Yiddish. The School of Paris Jewish artists included Edmond Kayser, Abram Krol, Meyer Lazar, David Lan-Bar, Jacques Lipchitz, Jacques Loutchansky, Lubitch, Rene Mendes-France, Adolphe Milich, Lea Nikel, Jules Pascin, David Peretz, Camille Pissarro, Nathan Rapoport, Moussia Toulman, Roger Worms...Category
