About the Item

One of a kind pastel depicting a group of women dancing in a romantic, ethereal spring landscape. The delicate figures, soft, luminous tones, and warm, almost golden atmosphere that envelops the scene are particularly striking. The women hold hands, forming a serpentine chain that captures a specific moment within the dynamic scene. Except for the central figure in the foreground, who turns to look at the viewer, all the others seem absorbed in their own thoughts and in the dance. It closely follows the style of the works of Leopold François Kowalski (1856-1931), a Polish-born painter known for his focus on Impressionism and Romantic themes, particularly those dealing with movement and the human figure. Kowalski was especially skilled at depicting dance scenes and female figures. His landscapes of the Norman and Breton countryside often reveal a strong Post-Impressionist influence, with their qualities of shifting light and reflections, and he was primarily known for his extraordinary domestic scenes set against magnificent landscapes. Much of his work focuses on Victorian nymphs dancing among fields of flowers, an incredibly popular subject in the late 19th century.

French Painting "Dahlias and Camellias" Paul Bazé, midcentury France
By Paul Robert Brock
Located in Valladolid, ES
Impressive and very beautiful oil on panel made by Paul Robert Bazé, an artist of French origin. It represents a still life with a bouquet of flowers in the foreground on a dark background. It mainly shows dahlias and camellias, which give the work its name. The traditional still life genre shows its evolution here. It presents the characteristic style of the genre to which it corresponds, realistic and meticulous, especially noticeable in the way it works with the different qualities of the flowers and leaves. The dark background is also inherited from the still life genre, with a marked dark interest reflected in the dark backgrounds. Signed in the lower left corner. Paul Robert Bazé (1901-1985) was born in Paris, although he soon moved to Bayonne and then to Bordeaux, where he was a student of Paul Quinsac...

As a young boy, he took night classes at the National Academy of Design, and first exhibited his work there in 1861. The first years of his career were spent as an engraver at the American Bank-Note Company, while at the same time attempting to establish himself as a painter. He later moved to Chicago, where he continued to work as an banknote engraver and also taught art at the Chicago Academy of Design. In 1870, at the relatively late age of thirty-two, Shirlaw travelled to Europe to study. Prevented from settling in Paris by the Franco-Prussian War, he instead studied in Munich, where he joined the small group of American painters working in the city, including Frank Duveneck and William Merrit Chase...
