Provenance:
The collection of Daniel & Rose Grunsweigh
Nathan GRUNZWEIG (spelling of his birth name) was born in Krakow on April 2, 1880, to an accountant father. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Wolanka, in the Drohobych district of present-day Ukraine, probably to find better income there, as development related to oil drilling attracted a mosaic of nationalities. But new legislation granting oil exploration only to landowners drove out the small operators.
The family returned to Krakow and then moved to Antwerp in 1893, where Nathan's father was registered as a diamond merchant. Thirteen-year-old Nathan enrolled in drawing and painting classes at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and exhibited in 1908 at the Maison de Sion. But it is likely that he organized his first exhibition in Brussels in 1906, according to the mention he made on the reverse of a painting by spelling his name Grunsweigh.
And then, in 1908, it was Paris, a beacon of artists who flocked from all over the world. His two children, David and Adéline (Rébecca), were born there in 1912 and 1913, after his marriage to Fanny Edinger, originally from Alsace. The family probably spent the period of the First World War in Amsterdam, where their youngest son, Daniel, was born in 1914. Very few paintings from this period have survived. They show the painter's inclination for artistic experimentation and his mastery of different currents.The family returned to Paris in the 1920s and settled in the inner suburbs, in the pretty town of Vésinet.
Maurice Utrillo, who revived the art of landscape as a new modernity, captivated Grunsweigh with his views of Montmartre.
The latter began to travel through Paris and its suburbs , planting his easel to sketch the streets, crossroads, squares, boulevards.
In 1924, the new Pierre gallery run by Pierre Loeb (who would become one of the great promoters of surrealism), hosted a personal exhibition Grunsweigh, in collaboration with the poet Gustave Kahn, whom Grunsweigh admired, just after the inaugural one by Jules Pascin. There were landscapes and still lifes with precise, firm, linear outlines, in the vein of Utrillo, all hailed by critics, as by Gustave Kahn in the preface to the catalog, or by Florent Fels: "His works, beautiful and nuanced, depict suburban streets, the little gardens of the Parisian suburbs, and landscapes where town and country seem to be vying for supremacy. This is where he lives, in a small house, in a sad street. In the morning, people go to work in Paris and the streets empty. In the evening the silhouettes return by train, and so on. There is no joy here. Yet Grunsweigh is a conscientious and simple man and sometimes, a flash of gray , a charming silvery gray shimmers in its melancholy images, like the glow of a pearl".
Hailed by critics as a landscape painter, he exhibited in 1925 at the Galerie de la Maison Blanc, alongside Utrillo and other landscape painters. He even exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in 1926 a painting treated in the style of Naïve art, which he entitled Le paysagiste, which represents an artist (probably a self-portrait), oversized, painting in a street, under the gaze of passers-by.
Gustave Kahn loves his still lifes. In 1925, he wrote in Le Mercure de France: "... they are curious, composed with the greatest precision, almost in a straight line, animated by a charming color". The firmness of the contours, the colors used reveal a subtle influence of the art of Paul Cézanne. There are a number of cubist motifs reinterpreted by the artist, such as a typographic element or the use of multiple perspectives within a frame to make the painted space unreal. The flat plane of a table spans the entire.

Private collection - Belgium
Modest Huys (25 October 1874, in Zulte – 30 January 1932, in Zulte) was a Flemish impressionist and luminist painter, who is regarded as one of the greatest Belgian painters of the 20th century.
From a young age, Modest Huys worked in his father's painting and decorating business and later studied at the "Gentse Nijverheidschool" (Ghent Industrial School). In 1891 or 1892, he came into contact with Emile Claus, who encouraged his artistic inclinations. In 1900, he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts where his teachers were Eugène Joors and Frans Van Leemputten but he never completed his studies. It was about this time that he became lifelong friends with the author Stijn Streuvels.
In 1902, he debuted at the Sint-Lucasgilde in Kortrijk and began to exhibit more widely. He spent time in Meetjesland, painting landscapes. From 1905, he participated in the exhibitions of Vie et Lumière...

"Boulevard of Paris", 20th Century oil on canvas by Spanish artist E. Grau Sala
By Emilio Grau Sala
Located in Madrid, ES
EMILIO GRAU SALA
Spanish, 1911 - 1975
BOULEVARD OF PARIS
signed Grau Sala (lower right)
oil on canvas
25-1/2 X 32 inches (65 X 81 cm.)
framed: 36-1/4 X 42-1/2 inches (92 X 108 cm.)
PROVENANCE
Sale: Sotheby´s Olympia London, 20 October 2006
Emilio Grau Sala came from a family of artists. He was born in Barcelona in 1911 and his father, a good cartoonist, had been one of the promoters of the "Salon des Humanistes" and made his exhibitions normally in the Parés Hall.
His first works were exhibited at the Salon des Independents, in the years 1930-33.
Grau Sala was essentially a Mediterranean painter, son of post-impressionism and enriched with French painting of the last fifty years.
In this work Grau Sala has a loose, subtle brushstroke, in which the color shapes the entire work. The bright and transparent whites that give life to young schoolgirls contrast with the brushstrokes of blacks from the nun who accompanies them. The explosion of greens is refreshing, it surrounds us and transports us to an idyllic place, even if it is a citizen boulevard, which becomes friendly and beautiful.
His works can be found in the Museums of the Villa de Paris, L'Ile de France Museum, at the Château de Sceaux, Honfleur Museum, La Rochelle Museum, Barcelona Museum, Tossa de Mar...
