Beskrivelse av varen
Tilstand: Pent brukt - I god stand
Rekonstruksjon av Olivier Foss' malestil av et bybilde i Paris. Minner om verkene "PROMENADE DES CLOCHARDS", "CITY SCENE", "SEINE PARISA" og "View Across the Seine". Det er både abstrakt, men ekspresjonistisk, og fargespillet er skikkelig stilig! Jeg liker det veldig godt selv, men får det rett og slett ikke til å passe helt inn med mitt interiør. Håper du føler at det kan passe hos deg! Det kan hentes i Blaker, eller så kan jeg levere til deg om du bor mellom Blaker og Lillestrøm :)

Om kunstneren:
"Born in 1920 in Hanover, Germany, Olivier Foss was noted for his Parisian street scenes, landscapes, and cities. Much of Foss’s works included mood paintings of romantic cities or towns. Foss's post-impressionist idiom melds gestural vigor with textured impasto, favoring oil on canvas to evoke Paris's luminous embankments and shadowed boulevards. Recurring motifs—Seine barges under twilight, rain-slicked arches, and bustling quays—convey nostalgic vitality without sentimentality. Iconic canvases include *Place de la Contrescarpe* and *Barge on the River Seine*, where architectural heft yields to atmospheric dissolve.
He first studied art in Berlin and, subsequently, in Paris at the Lycee Pasteur and Lycee Janson de Sailly. This was followed by instruction with Paul Colin and Jean Dupas at the École des Beaux-Arts. Foss then moved to New York City, where he worked with Maria Annot and Ruth Jacoby, who organized Foss's first one-man exhibition at the Riverside Museum. A second exhibition took place at the New School for Social Research. Shortly afterwards, Foss was invited to exhibit his work at the 1964 World's Fair and the National Art Club. During this period, he also enrolled at the Art Students League where he studied drawing with George Bridgman. While painting and studying art in New York, Foss also worked as a book illustrator. He then moved to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he was appointed Fine Arts instructor at the University of Elizabethtown and, at the same time, pursued his interest in science by studying for a Bachelor of Science degree. After graduating, he taught Bacteriology in Philadelphia and worked as a Laboratory Technologist. He then moved to Switzerland and enrolled at the University of Basel where he continued his scientific studies. However, the call to pursue his art talent remained strong and, in 1949, he left the University at Basel and returned to Paris, where he settled into an atelier at Villa des Ternes. After two years painting in Paris, he assembled a one-man exhibition that toured the United States, showing in New York City, Boston, Palm Beach and Philadelphia. In 1952, he returned again to Paris and went into seclusion to pursue his "new pictorial projects, which had haunted his mind for many years.
In 1953, Foss mounted a career-changing exhibition, titled "Life's Deaths and Summits," which was held at the Galerie Drouant-David on the Rue du Faubourg Saint Honore in Paris. This exhibition drew promoters for international exhibitions and also led to his subsequent representation in Paris at the prestigious Gallery Charpentier. In the 1960s, Foss and the painter Armand Nakache organized a large exhibition titled "Expressionnismes" at the Musee Galliera in Paris, which he followed with successful one-man shows in Switzerland and Germany."
