Boris Solotareff Watercolor and Graphite on Paper "Pont Royal"

Item Details

A watercolor with graphite on paper by listed artist Boris Solotareff (1889-1966) titled Pont Royal, created during 1925. Within a green and blue background, the piece depicts a Parisian bridge with an obelisk visible to the left and a sculpture to the right. The work bears an estate stamp and two gallery labels to the verso. Within a floating mat atop linen, the work is presented under a linen mat with gold tone fillet, under glass, and in a reed patterned gold tone frame.

Born in Romania, Solotareff received his formal art training at the Munich Academy of the Fine Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. While in Munich, Solotareff was exposed to the Munich Secession, a group of visual artists who sought to defend and promote their art against increasingly conservative views in Germany. His Munich period would impart his continual use of a sense of comfort called gemütlichkeit in his works. Solotareff would later move to the United States, where he remained longer than any other country. He was exhibited widely and often during his lifetime. Today, his works can be found in many private collections.
