About the Item

Mid century French oil on canvas view of the New York City skyline by André Lwoff a noted Nobel prize winning chemist and later artist. The painting is signed bottom right and presented in a plain red painted baton frame. This artwork vividly captures the skyline of New York with its iconic buildings including the Empire State Building. This vibrant cityscape exudes a lively, urban charm. The foreground features a mix of colourful rooftops, painted in bold hues of blue, red, green, and orange, each adorned with distinct architectural elements like windows and chimneys. In the background, stylized skyscrapers rise against a serene, pale blue sky, their geometric forms rendered in softer pastel shades of ochre, teal, and white, creating a sense of depth and contrast. The brushwork is dynamic yet controlled, emphasizing the vibrant atmosphere and the bustling essence of the city. The artist skilfully balances perspective and colour, drawing the viewer's eye from the intricate detailing of the foreground toward the minimalist elegance of the distant skyline. This piece stands out for its harmonious blend of realism and abstraction, capturing the energetic spirit of an urban landscape. André Lwoff received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1965, along with François Jacob and Jacques Monod, for the discovery of the mechanism used by certain viruses (more precisely proviruses) to infect bacteria. Throughout his life and especially in his retirement he was an accomplished artist. He was supported throughout his professional career by the Rockefeller Foundation and it may have been on one of these visits that he painted this painting of New York.
