Alexandre Garbell (1903-1970) - Soir à Cannes

Expressive, semi-abstract landscape by Alexandre Garbell, a Riga-born painter of the École de Paris. With thick impasto in warm red, orange, turquoise and deep green-black, he evokes an evening along the Mediterranean Sea near Cannes, with palm trees, pines and hills. A typical work from the postwar Nouvelle École de Paris, on the boundary of figuration and lyrical abstraction. • Bottom-right signed "Garbell" • On the back written in pencil: "Soir à Cannes", "Garbell" and "[Ge]nève 1963" • Christie's sticker with handwritten initials on the back • Further inventory numbers on the back: "8002 MA", "8002", "11" • Oil on wooden panel • In a wooden frame with gilded edge and a linen-like inner frame
