Provenance:
The collection of Daniel & Rose Grunsweigh
Nathan GRUNZWEIG (spelling of his birth name) was born in Krakow on April 2, 1880, to an accountant father. Shortly after his birth, the family moved to Wolanka, in the Drohobych district of present-day Ukraine, probably to find better income there, as development related to oil drilling attracted a mosaic of nationalities. But new legislation granting oil exploration only to landowners drove out the small operators.
The family returned to Krakow and then moved to Antwerp in 1893, where Nathan's father was registered as a diamond merchant. Thirteen-year-old Nathan enrolled in drawing and painting classes at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp and exhibited in 1908 at the Maison de Sion. But it is likely that he organized his first exhibition in Brussels in 1906, according to the mention he made on the reverse of a painting by spelling his name Grunsweigh.
And then, in 1908, it was Paris, a beacon of artists who flocked from all over the world. His two children, David and Adéline (Rébecca), were born there in 1912 and 1913, after his marriage to Fanny Edinger, originally from Alsace. The family probably spent the period of the First World War in Amsterdam, where their youngest son, Daniel, was born in 1914. Very few paintings from this period have survived. They show the painter's inclination for artistic experimentation and his mastery of different currents.The family returned to Paris in the 1920s and settled in the inner suburbs, in the pretty town of Vésinet.
Maurice Utrillo, who revived the art of landscape as a new modernity, captivated Grunsweigh with his views of Montmartre.
The latter began to travel through Paris and its suburbs , planting his easel to sketch the streets, crossroads, squares, boulevards.
In 1924, the new Pierre gallery run by Pierre Loeb (who would become one of the great promoters of surrealism), hosted a personal exhibition Grunsweigh, in collaboration with the poet Gustave Kahn, whom Grunsweigh admired, just after the inaugural one by Jules Pascin. There were landscapes and still lifes with precise, firm, linear outlines, in the vein of Utrillo, all hailed by critics, as by Gustave Kahn in the preface to the catalog, or by Florent Fels: "His works, beautiful and nuanced, depict suburban streets, the little gardens of the Parisian suburbs, and landscapes where town and country seem to be vying for supremacy. This is where he lives, in a small house, in a sad street. In the morning, people go to work in Paris and the streets empty. In the evening the silhouettes return by train, and so on. There is no joy here. Yet Grunsweigh is a conscientious and simple man and sometimes, a flash of gray , a charming silvery gray shimmers in its melancholy images, like the glow of a pearl".
Hailed by critics as a landscape painter, he exhibited in 1925 at the Galerie de la Maison Blanc, alongside Utrillo and other landscape painters. He even exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants in 1926 a painting treated in the style of Naïve art, which he entitled Le paysagiste, which represents an artist (probably a self-portrait), oversized, painting in a street, under the gaze of passers-by.
Gustave Kahn loves his still lifes. In 1925, he wrote in Le Mercure de France: "... they are curious, composed with the greatest precision, almost in a straight line, animated by a charming color". The firmness of the contours, the colors used reveal a subtle influence of the art of Paul Cézanne. There are a number of cubist motifs reinterpreted by the artist, such as a typographic element or the use of multiple perspectives within a frame to make the painted space unreal. The flat plane of a table spans the entire.

- Henri-André Martin Road in Eygalieres, Alpilles, Provence, Oil on Canvas, 1999By Henri-André MartinLocated in Saint Amans des cots, FROil on canvas by Henri-André Martin (1918-2004), France, 1999. Road in Eygalieres, Alpilles, Provence. With frame: 52x67 cm - 20.5x26.4 inches. Without frame: 46x61cm - 18.1x24 inches. Format 12P. Signed and dated lower left "Henri-André Martin 99" (see photo). Located on the back (see photo). Can be matched to make a pair with another painting by Henri-André Martin that we offer on 1stdibs whose title is "Henri-André Martin Road in the Alpilles, Provence, Oil on Canvas, 1980s". Born in Lyon in 1918, the child and the adolescent Henri-André Martin spent his youth in Saint-Étienne, his father, Edme Martin, first installed as a practicing doctor in Lyon, having been appointed doctor of the anti-tuberculosis dispensaries of the Loire. During his first years of studying medicine in Lyon, he nevertheless enrolled in the Beaux-Arts. Appointed hospital intern upon his return from captivity in 1942, he ended his medical career as director of the otolaryngology university clinic at Édouard-Herriot hospital. But painting was his passion. Painting was for Henri-André Martin the way of expressing his feelings. By nature very reserved and of an extreme modesty that many took for coldness, it was what allowed him to express his strong artistic sensitivity and, his pictorial periods are as many reflects of his anxieties, of his hopes, of his joys. At every period of his life, wherever he goes and whenever he has a moment, he paints gouaches, often of small size, but sometimes of larger size. He also paints beaches that have been compared to those of Boudin. Their invoice shows, however, that this figure is only appearance and that in fact, these beaches made of water, sky and sand, readily dispense with the motif, the work of the material seeming to have more importance. as the subject. Despite the fact that until the 1970s he painted "on the ground", his canvases remain far removed from the anecdote. Often harsh like the landscapes of Provence, the Parisian walls which express concern, or the railways, the switch tracks which suggest, in ocher and black, all the embarrassment of choice. We find the same nostalgic gravity in the canvases of the carcasses of boats which, as his friend Louis Pons later wrote, "seem to die of immobility" or in the canvases of Venice, or the landscapes of Eygalières. In the following years, his painting became simpler, more synthetic, such as these landscapes with tortured almond trees, black and gnarled olive trees, plane trees standing out against the ocher sky of the dawn of Provence, in winter. These are also the canvases of Hamburg in the dough becomes heavier, the colors darken, marking all the gravity of the port landscapes. Workshop work gradually takes precedence over motif painting. The pivotal period coincides with that of his work on the olive tree, during which he leads the realization of the "Trunks", a collection of six lithographic plates, of the book L'olivier comprising many lithographs and serigraphs, but also texts. poetic and numerous paintings. He then became passionate about everything related to the olive tree (literature, painting, traditions, history), but also to the tree itself, its thousand-year-old history, its poetry, its symbols, but also its culture, its size. oil production...Category
