A litho by one of the bigger artists from Belgium.
Work on paper. Dimensions: 50 / 60 cm.
Victor Boissevain
In fact this is quite a comical scenery as it appears
to be Carnival but nobody seems to have pleasure.
In fact the woman in the middle seems to feel
threatened by observing her attitude and the
way she holds her arms. Work on cardboard.
Mixed media. Dimensions: 70 / 100 cm.
On the back of this painting we found this signature
and though this artist often doesn't sign his works on
the front we were able to look at one example where
he did sign in this manner and on the front!
We think this work to be more smashing once this
work has been varnished as some colors do not
do justice to the meaning of the artist to our believe.
We had E-mail contact with the artist and he states
this work has been made in 1981 and in fact depicts
a Russian scenery. A whole story around his visit
in the USSR but in fact it was a concert piano player
who fled from Russia. She was the inspiration for this
remarkable painting. Title: Stolichnaya from USSR
