About the Item
Alexander Warshawsky was born in Cleveland, Ohio on March 29, 1887. He studied painting at the Cleveland School of Art and the National Academy of Design in New York City. Warshawsky moved to France in 1916 and painted in Paris, Brittany and the South of France for almost two decades.
Alexander was the brother of Abel George Warshawsky, who was also living in France at the time. Both brothers were pacifists, serving together behind the French lines in World War I, decorating soldiers' huts with murals and organising sports events. In recognition for this work, the French government asked them to exhibit in the Luxembourg Gallery. They returned at least once a year to Cleveland. Several times they exhibited jointly.
On the Cote d'Azur, Alexander became friends with the Impressionist Paul Signac. The work by Warshawsky presented here, a lovely portait of a young girl wearing a fashionable "cloche" hat, was painted during one of his stays in Saint Tropez, which was only a small fishing village at the time.
By 1934, Warshawsky had relocated to Los Angeles, California, where he remained for the last twelve years of his life. Today his paintings can be found in the collections of the Los Angeles County Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Our "Girl from Saint Tropez" is presented in its original mount and a simple oak frame. The size of the gouache at sight is 30 x 23 cm. It is signed, dated and annotated at the lower right.
