New York Night Skyline with Illuminated Bridges Post Impressionist Oil Artist: Guillem Villà Bassols (1917–2005) Title: New York at Night Year: 1981 Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 50 × 65 cm / 19.69 × 25.6 in Framing: Unframed Signature: Signed and dated on the reverse Condition: Good overall condition with normal signs of age and handling consistent with period Description Atmospheric post-impressionist oil painting depicting the illuminated skyline of New York City at night, executed by Spanish painter Guillem Villà Bassols in 1981. The composition captures the electric rhythm of Manhattan through glowing suspension bridges, deep cobalt blue waters and geometric urban architecture vibrating under artificial light. The work possesses a striking cinematic quality, somewhere between the dreamlike urban visions of the School of Paris and the nocturnal energy of mid-century American cityscapes. The luminous bridges cut across the composition like neon arteries suspended over the dark river, while the reflections and scattered lights create an almost musical cadence across the canvas. 🌃 Villà Bassols reduces the city into expressive chromatic blocks and shimmering points of light, achieving a sophisticated balance between abstraction and recognizable urban structure. The palette of electric blues, violets and acidic yellows gives the painting a highly decorative yet emotionally charged presence. This type of metropolitan nocturne is particularly sought after for contemporary interiors, collectors of post-impressionist urban scenes, and interiors inspired by New York modernism. An elegant and highly atmospheric European interpretation of NYC during the late twentieth century. Artist Bio Guillem Villà Bassols (1917–2005) was a Spanish painter associated with the Masnou School near Barcelona. Working alongside his brother Miquel, he developed a highly personal visual language characterized by strong construction, expressive forms and an intensely lyrical use of color. His oeuvre includes landscapes, still lifes, figures and urban scenes, often distinguished by their emotional atmosphere and vibrant chromatic structures. Villà Bassols combined Mediterranean sensibility with modern European pictorial tendencies, producing works that balance structure, rhythm and painterly freedom. Artistic Context This work resonates with the poetic urban sensibility found in certain European post-impressionist and modern city painters, blending the emotional color treatment of School of Paris artists with the architectural dynamism of twentieth-century metropolitan painting. Its luminous bridges and fragmented skyline evoke the romanticized vision of New York as a modern electric cathedral, transforming infrastructure into pure pictorial rhythm.

Herman Rose (1909 - 2007) Manhattan Looking East (View from Midtown), 1952-54 Oil on canvas 26 x 28 inches Signed lower right Fairfield Porter wrote an essay in ArtNews on this exact painting in 1955. Please inquire for a copy of the article. Literature: Fairfield Porter, "Herman Rose Paints a Picture," ArtNews, April 1955 Volume 54, Number 2, illustrated. Herman Rose was best known for his depictions of cityscapes of New York City. Herman Rappaport was born in Brooklyn, New York. in 1909. Herman Rose was the professional pseudonym of Herman Rappaport. Originally trained as a draftsman and studied at the National Academy of Design from 1927 to 1929, he was later employed by the Works Progress Administration's Murals Division under Arshile Gorky from 1934 until 1939. In 1939, after experimenting with a variety of contemporary expressionistic styles, Rose decided to paint from life. Working mostly in East New York and East Canarsie in Brooklyn, and in Manhattan, Rose began to paint roof tops and street scenes. Rappaport began using the name Herman Rose when he held his first solo art exhibition in 1946 at the Charles Egan Gallery in New York City. Although he initially began as an Expressionistic painter, he became known for small, light-filled Impressionist paintings of still life, cityscapes and skies by the early 1950s. His paintings and images were often composed of very small dabs of paint and tiny, blurry "squares," which combined to create the image on canvas, his favorite medium. Often described as a "lyrical painter" Rose's work "interpreted traditional subjects: landscape, still life and the figure like the Post-Impressionists from whom he developed his own style, Rose built up forms from distinct touches of color that don't entirely blend in the viewer's eye. This gives his surfaces an active quality that flattens forms, one of the great lessons of modernism." Herman Rose's work received official recognition when Ms. Dorothy Miller of Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) included his work in an exhibition called, "15 Americans," alongside work by Clyfford Still, Mark Rothko and Jackson Pollock. New York Times art critic Hilton Kramer wrote of Rose's work in 1981, "{he} must surely be counted among the most beautiful works anyone has produced in this challenging medium for many years." The Art in America art critic Lawrence Campbell...

'Parisian Street Scene', watercolour on art paper, by Roland DuBuc (circa 1970s). This artwork is a delightful depiction of a Parisian street which scales the hill to the neighbourhood of Montmartre, the home of the basilica of Sacré-Cœur. DuBuc's artworks serve as a love letter to the city of Paris and are recognised by his incredibly charming style. The signed artwork is in good overall condition and has been newly framed with anti-reflective glass. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video of the piece may be provided. About the Artist: Roland DuBuc (1924-1998), French artist, the sixth of 13 children and son of a construction worker. The very precariousness of the family's financial situation forced him to go to work at the age of 14. In extreme poverty, he moved to Rouen where he was lodged by the Salvation Army. During that time he struck up friendships with several artists who gave him advice and taught him techniques of drawing. He moved to other cities later where he met painters including, among others, Fred Pailhès...

Dimensions with frame: 40,8 x 35 x 2,8 cm. Signed "B. Ciappa" in the lower left corner. This lively oil painting captures the bustle of a European city square. The composition is animated by a steady flow of pedestrians, elegantly dressed figures, and a horse-drawn carriage advancing through a reflective, rain-washed street. Executed in a fluid, impressionistic manner, the artist emphasizes atmosphere and movement over strict detail. Quick, confident brushstrokes define the architecture and figures, while the wet pavement subtly mirrors the activity, enhancing depth and visual rhythm. The soft, diffused light and muted palette, punctuated by touches of color in clothing, evoke a transient moment in urban life, likely inspired by late 19th to early 20th century Parisian scenes. The architectural framing on both sides guides the eye toward the center, creating a sense of perspective and dynamism. This work reflects the enduring appeal of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist cityscapes, where modern life, leisure, and movement converge. This painting offers both decorative charm and collectible value, ideal for collectors of European street scenes and Impressionist-inspired works.

A signed oil on canvas by French painter Antoine Blanchard (1921–1988), depicting the bustling Boulevard Madeleine in Paris.
