Michel Loeb, 1930- painter, was born in Saint-Cloud. Lives and works in Luberon. Art naïf. Pointillist, Fauvist, Surrealist, Dadai artist, unclassifiable, highly original, unique art. His works radiate a light, a love of colors, of the absurd, of the funny, of the tender and of the poetic. French Naive art. Galerie Felix Vercel showed his work. Whether in color or black & white, in painting, sculpture or a lithograph print, the world of Michel Loeb is a poetic, joyful and exuberant paradise, where humor and fantasy are never far away. Extravagant works that sparkle like their iconoclastic author whose titles often say a lot. Each work is executed with great attention to detail, often under the magnifying glass, by this former jeweler, including its very large formats. Michel Loeb has drawn parallels to his masters of painting, facetious but always majestic winks and the desire for paintings in the style of Vincent Van Gogh, Paul Gauguin, Edward Hopper, Hokusai. Michel Loeb is a painter born in Saint-Cloud. He first trained as a jeweler and diamond dealer like his father and painted as an amateur. He devoted himself to painting from 1970, after his meeting with the famous art dealer Félix Vercel, who then took him under contract and exhibited him in Paris, New York and Tokyo. Galerie Felix Vercel in Paris (Avenue Matignon) and New York (Madison Avenue) showed artists as Pablo Picasso, Fernand Leger, Armand Guillaumin, Maurice Utrillo and Claude Venard. He is part of School of Paris artists that included Marcel Cosson, Jean Jansem, Claude Salomon, Michel Kouliche, Bernard Buffet, Bernard Lorjou, Jean Dufy, and others. Naive art was then in fashion and his work enjoyed great success; he has prepared no less than one exhibition per year since this period. Recently he had the opportunity to present his work in Provence, Oslo or Shanghai. Since 1988, he has settled in Oppède, in the Luberon, among vineyards, scrubland and olive groves where he draws his inspiration. His work is simimilar in its childish naive appeal and is reminiscent of Henri Maik and Gustavo Novoa. In the French tradition of Séraphine de Senlis, Ferdinand Cheval, Henri Rousseau, Louis Vivin...

Colorful Mediterranean Beach Promenade with Café Terraces and Figures Artist: Elisabeth Ollé Curiel Title: La Playa Medium: Oil on canvas Dimensions: 60 × 73 cm / 23.62 × 28.74 in Framed dimensions: 78 × 91 cm / 30.71 × 35.83 in Signature: Signed “Ollé Curiel” lower right Inscription: Titled “La Playa” on the reverse Origin: Spain Style: Fauvist, Expressionist, Mediterranean Modern Period: Late 20th century Condition: Good original condition, with minor signs of age and wear consistent with its history Frame: Presented in its original wooden frame DESCRIPTION A vibrant Mediterranean beach scene by Spanish painter Elisabeth Ollé Curiel, depicting a lively seaside promenade filled with café terraces, striped awnings, strolling figures and sunlit architecture overlooking the deep blue sea. Ollé Curiel constructs the composition through broad, spontaneous brushstrokes and an exuberant palette of turquoise, cobalt blue, emerald green, yellow, red and ochre. The figures and architectural elements are deliberately simplified, creating a rhythmic and highly expressive vision of everyday coastal life. The large green-and-white café canopy anchors the foreground, while the promenade leads the eye toward the sea and the bright horizon. Rather than offering a literal representation, the artist transforms the beach into a celebration of color, movement and Mediterranean light. The painting is signed in the lower-right corner and titled “La Playa” on the reverse. Its generous format and vivid chromatic presence make it an excellent statement piece for a contemporary, modernist or Mediterranean-inspired interior. ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Elisabeth Ollé Curiel is a Spanish painter and sculptor born in Barcelona in 1960. Her artistic identity is shaped by both her Catalan background and her family connections with Venezuela and the Caribbean. Her work explores memory, cultural identity, travel and the meeting of different landscapes and traditions. Mediterranean villages, Caribbean settings, urban scenes, music and the human figure frequently appear in her paintings. Ollé Curiel’s pictorial language combines expressive color, simplified forms and gestural brushwork. Her work reveals affinities with Fauvism, Expressionism and lyrical abstraction while maintaining a distinctive and highly personal character. Her paintings have been exhibited internationally and are appreciated for their vitality, emotional immediacy and fusion of European and Caribbean visual influences. PICTORIAL INSPIRATION The painting reflects the legacy of Henri Matisse, Raoul Dufy and the Fauvist tradition, particularly in its liberated use of color, flattened perspective and joyful interpretation of Mediterranean life. Its energetic brushwork and spontaneous figures also evoke European Expressionism, while the luminous palette and bustling café atmosphere recall the modern coastal scenes painted throughout the French and Spanish Mediterranean during the 20th century.
