Marcel parturier (havre, 1901 - paris, 1976), "kiosk and bus in paris", oil on panel, signed lower left. Dimensions: 18.5 X 24 cm (without frame), 28 X 33 cm (with frame). A member of the ecole de paris, marcel parturier (1901-1976) grew up in the capital, with parents of norman origin. His father, louis eugène parturier, was a painter and founder of the société havre des beaux-arts. From him, he learned to paint on location, during family holidays on the normandy coast. When he came of age, he moved to the capital, where he took classes at the ecole des beaux-arts in paris. After a stay in tunisia in 1920-1921, where he tinted his palette with brighter colors, he entered the académie de la grande chaumière where he rubbed shoulders with lucien simon and othon friesz. He exhibited for the first time at only 24 years old, at the galerie carmine in paris. His work is mainly composed of normandy landscapes - some landscapes from brittany, provence and the paris region - and views of paris, notably of the montparnasse district, where he has his studio and apartment. Condition: painting in very good condition, framed, note that the frame is coming off very slightly on the lower right side.
