About the Item

Signed lower right, 'Bertalan' for Albert Bertalan (Hungarian, 1899-1956) and dated 1929. Displayed in a period, birds-eye maple frame; frame size: 26 x 30 inches An elegant, oil still-life by this early European modernist who exhibited widely and with success in Paris, including at the Salon des Indépendants (1926, 1930), the Salon d’Automne (1926) and the Salon des Tuileries (1930) among others. Born in Hungary, Albert Bertalan first studied at the Free Art School of Károly Kernstok. In 1924, he moved to Paris to attend the Académie Julian and, in 1925, was granted his first solo exhibition at Galerie Bernheim-Jeune. That same year, Bertalan traveled to the Romanian artists' colony of Baia Mare, where he painted outdoors with artist Béla Iványi-Grünwald and István Réti. In 1928, he joined the Association New Artists and was granted a solo show in Nuremberg while continuing to exhibit regularly at the Société de Budapest. We are pleased to offer an elegant example of Bertalan's work painted during the artist's Paris period. Reference: E.

  • Still life with wine glasses. 2010, oil on canvas, 120x150 cm
    Located in Riga, LV
    Still life with wine glasses. 2010, oil on canvas, 120x150 cm Large size painting with two glass of red wine filled with bright tropical flowers. Painting radiates love, warmth and happiness Kristīne Luīze Avotiņa is a young and bright personality whose talent is appreciated not only in Latvia, but also in other parts of the world. Her deep inner experiences and feelings of the soul are not hidden from the eyes of the audience, but are openly and engagingly narrated: about relationships, man and woman, passion, emotions, about experience and connection with nature. Characters live in Kristine's compositional solutions, where figurative painting and ornament appear. When painting large-format works, she masters the entire format, composition and color of the work, as well as linear drawing. Kristīne herself emphasizes: "Relationships between nature and people - it has always been a relevant topic in my painting. The more I work on it, the more interesting it seems to me. It is infinite and unending. With paint I refresh the beauty of nature and love on the canvas and I want to show that nature and love are equal in their beauty. In my works, I always want to show that nature is beautiful and worthy of admiration - a newly blooming water lily, falling leaves from golden trees, a pink sunset sky... This could go on forever..."
