Burlap Landscape Paintings

Shimon Avni Shimon Avny, painter, born 1932, Paris Shimon Avny (Stein) was born in Paris, France. He grew up in the Belville neighborhood. In 1942, when the Nazis occupied France, he was separated from his family. His mother and brothers were killed in the Holocaust. After the war, he was transferred from his hiding place to the town of Andlis. He immigrated to Israel with Youth Aliyah in 1948. In 1956, he joined Kibbutz Ra'im. In 1957, he studied painting with Joseph Zaritsky, Avigdor Stematzky and Haim Kiewe. He also studied with Yehezekel Streichman at the Avni Institute. At the end of the 1950s, he went to Paris to continue his studies. In the 1980s, he joined the Radius artists cooperative. Avny's early work was influenced by the abstractionism of the New Horizons group. In 1963, he took part in the group's exhibition at Ein Harod. His work is characterized by bold colors, expressive brushstrokes and flat planes. He is a figurative painter, but some of his work incorporates symbolic imagery.

La Rambla Barcelona Flower Market Street Scene Spanish Post-Impressionist Oil Painting 1978 Artist: Joan Joseph Garí (b. 1922) Title: Rambla de les Flors, Barcelona Medium: Oil on burlap Date: 1978 Signature: Signed lower left Condition: Good condition Frame: Unframed Dimensions: 33 × 41 cm (13 × 16.15 in) DESCRIPTION Charming street scene depicting the famous flower stalls of La Rambla in Barcelona painted in 1978 by Spanish artist Joan Joseph Garí. Executed in oil on burlap, the composition captures pedestrians moving through the lively urban promenade framed by colorful floral displays and warm Mediterranean evening light. The textured surface of the burlap enhances the painterly atmosphere and reinforces the expressive brushwork typical of post-impressionist Catalan urban painting of the late twentieth century. The work reflects a documentary yet atmospheric interpretation of Barcelona’s most iconic boulevard during a period when the Rambla remained a central social and cultural meeting point of the city. Joan Joseph Garí (Granollers, 1922) was a Catalan painter associated with post-impressionist landscape and urban scene painting. Trained in Granollers and at the School of Fine Arts in Cádiz, he began exhibiting regularly from the 1950s onward in Barcelona, Terrassa, Vic, Olot and Bilbao, later presenting work internationally in Florida and Acapulco. His paintings focus primarily on Mediterranean landscapes and Catalan urban environments rendered with dense chromatic structure and expressive surface texture characteristic of late twentieth-century Spanish post-impressionist practice. ARTISTIC CONTEXT / COMPARATIVE FIELD This Barcelona street scene belongs to the long tradition of Catalan urban painting developed from the atmospheric boulevard views of Santiago Rusiñol and Ramon Casas through the structured Mediterranean modernity of Joaquim Sunyer and later continued in twentieth-century Barcelona street interpretations by Josep Amat and Francesc Serra Castellet. The lively pedestrian rhythm and floral foreground arrangements also connect with the broader European urban impressionist lineage associated with Pierre Bonnard, Édouard Vuillard and lesser-known boulevard painters working in Paris and Barcelona throughout the twentieth century. barcelona rambla painting la rambla flower market barcelona street scene painting catalan urban painting spanish post impressionist painting mediterranean street scene european boulevard painting flower market painting...
