About the Item

Ruins in the desert after and in the style of Elie Anatole Pavil (Russian, 1873-1948). Several figures are in the desert, one of them riding a camel. There are ruins of a domed structure in the midground, and the silhouette of a city at the horizon. Titled "Oran" in the lower left. Signed "Pavil" in the lower right. Note that this piece is likely not by the hand of Elie Anatole Pavil, but is done in the style of his work. Presented in a white wood frame with a gold accent. Board size: 11"H x 9.5"W Frame size: 12.75"H x 10.25"W Elie Anatole Pavil (Russian, 1873-1949) was born in Odessa, Russia in 1873. He came to Paris in 1892. He established himself in Montmartre, on the Rue Caulaincourt. He had arrived at the high point of La Belle Époque; Pavil dedicated himself to capturing its atmosphere on canvas. For most of the next fifty years, he painted the cafes, the beautiful women, the jazz bands and artist ateliers of Paris. His paintings show an intimate knowledge of the inhabitants of the streets and alleys of Montmartre. Elegant couples dancing, beautiful models posing, working men finishing their day with a drink at the bar---all were captured in Pavil's carefully balanced compositions, many of which show the distinct the influence of Degas and Renoir. He exhibited at the Salon of French Artists from 1905. He got an honorable mention in 1928, silver medal in 1930 and was awarded the Legion of Honor in 1931. Various public buildings in Paris retain his works, as well as the Petit Palais and the Musée d'Art Moderne. Pavil also exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants and the Salon d'Automne. He exhibited at Galerie Charpentier, Galerie Georges Petit, and Galerie Bernheim Jeune. Claude Monet described Pavil's paintings as "little marvels.” Pavil also counted Pissaro among his friends. Pavil continued painting with the same passion until the end of his days. He finished his life in Morocco, another place for which he had a lifelong interest.
