Francisco Sillué the "Bookseller" of Paris

About the Item

Fabulous oil painting called "Bouquiniste" by Spanish Artist Francisco Sillue. Rich colors with various hues of green capture this unique moment on the streets of Paris. The subject matter of the bookseller sitting by his stand and the cameos of those passing by creates great movement in this painting. Sillue painted in Paris, Norway and Sweden in the 1960s then moving to London and eventually ending in Sitges near Barcelona. Signed on the canvas Francesco Sillue / Paris and on verso. With more than 60 solo exhibitions, Sillue's work has been exhibited widely in galleries throughout Spain, Holland, Portugal, Norway, Germany, England, Columbia, Switzerland, France and the United States. Another painting by this same artist of Gypsies is also available.
