Mid-20th Century

About the Item

A beautiful oil on canvas painting by Hungarian artist, Hugo Matzenauer. Matzenauer was a painter known for his colorful cityscapes depicting the times of his generation. His work is comparable to those of Jules Herve, Antoine Blanchard, and Edouard Cortes. This painting is a wonderful example of his work from the prime of his career. Here you see busy street filled with movement in the center of Budapest. The street is filled with life on a crisp Fall day with people walking alongside the bustling cars and trolleys of the city. People are depicted throughout the streets and the lights from the cafes and stores flicker and reflect on the wet ground, illuminating the scene in a magical way. The details are magnificent as Matzenauer captures the architecture of Budapest so beautifully; you can feel the energy of the day and the excitement. This painting is signed lower left and it comes housed in an original wood frame with linen liner ready to be displayed with hanging wire on verso. Art measures 13 x 18 inches Frame measures 18.5 x 23.5 inches PROVENANCE: Estate of a Private collection Chicago, IL; Private Collection Manhattan, New York; Lilac Gallery Collection.

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.

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...
