About the Item

A luminous and poetic composition, Vue de la Fenêtre ("View from the Window"), acrylic on canvas (2003), by Japanese-French artist Kimiyo Masuda captures a tranquil, sunlit moment of domestic life in Paris. This interior scene is rendered in soft pastel tones and expressive brushwork, evocative of early 20th-century Fauvism and Post-Impressionism. Masuda’s brush dances across the canvas, dissolving form into atmosphere — a technique reminiscent of Pierre Bonnard (1867-1947)or Jean-Édouard Vuillard (1868-1940), where interior and exterior spaces harmonise through colour and light. The delicate white flowers on the table, the warm orange glow of the wood, and the faint suggestion of rooftops and trees beyond the wrought iron balcony speak of serenity and painterly joy. The artist invites the viewer into a private moment — the gentle curve of the armchair, the quiet presence of the vase and curtain — all infused with a nostalgic elegance. The painting's title enhances this sense of personal intimacy and contemplative stillness. The artwork is in good overall condition and has been newly framed with a linen slip. It is signed by the artist on the upper left. Title appears on the reverse of the canvas. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video will be provided. Dimensions with Frame: H 44 cm / 17.3" W 35 cm / 13.8" Dimensions without Frame: H 33 cm / 13" W 24 cm / 9.4" About the Artist: Born in 1943, Kimiyo Masuda began her career painting in Japan before later settling in France. Her work—rooted in Postwar and Contemporary styles—has been offered at auction since the 2010s. Masuda’s paintings often depict interior scenes, street views, and figures with a lyrical, colour‑driven approach that recalls Fauvism and Post‑Impressionism. Using expressive brushwork, she balances intimate subject matter—windows, vases, quiet domestic settings—with vibrant pastel palettes. Her art has attracted interest in both Europe and Japan, and her pieces have appeared in European auctions and select private collections. While not widely covered in mainstream art history, Masuda’s oeuvre provides a poetic bridge between Japanese and Western sensibilities in a modern context.

Still Life on Black Background
