Constantin Kluge Figurative Paintings

French, 1912-2003
Constantin Kluge was a Russian-born French painter best known for his naturalistic scenes of Paris and French countryside in a style reminiscent of Albert Marquet. Kluge was born to a wealthy military family on January 29, 1912 in Riga, Latvia, which was then a large, industrial Russian port city. He spent much of his childhood and young adult life between Manchuria, Beijing, and Hong Kong, where he discovered a love for brush and ink painting. Kluge studied architecture at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris and earned his diploma in 1937. Upon graduating, he painted the city’s river banks and streets before returning to Shanghai. With the rise of Communism in China, the artist fled to Paris in 1950 and began exhibiting in the French Salons. He was a success both artistically and financially. Of his many awards, he received the Gold Medal, Salon des Artistes Francais and was made Chevalier de la Legion d’Honneur by the French Government. He died on January 9, 2003 in Paris, France.

Winter Evening Fifth Avenue Nocturne - New York at Night

By Ernest Fiene

Located in Miami, FL

Ernest Fiene depicts Fifth Avenue, looking down from 57th Street, with an unobstructed view of the Empire State Building, as an evocation of night. The artist captures a dark, moody blue sky, with light bouncing back from the clouds. This contrasts with the somewhat haunting yellow glow given to pedestrians and street traffic. The absence of newer glass-and-steel architecture provides the painting with the charm of old New York. The people have a slightly zombie-like quality, akin to George Tooker. Condition: Good/Fair. Best viewed with a top and direct gallery light...
