Court House. Alfred Wolmark. The First Half of the Twentieth Century
Specifications: Oil on wood. 43X35 cm, in a 62X53 cm frame. Signed in lower right corner.
Alfred [Aharon] Wolmark [c. 1877-1961] Painter and artist. Born to a Jewish family in Warsaw, he immigrated to England as a child, where he studied at the Royal Academy Schools. In 1903 he returned to Poland and painted pictures of Jewish life. Under the influence of modern French painting, he changed his style in 1911 and adopted an Impressionist genre. Like Van Gogh's style, he made bold use of color, drawing blurry figures with thick strokes of color. His paintings were exhibited in New York and London, and achieved limited success. His work was re-evaluated only posthumously, and his paintings became widely recognized and exhibited in major galleries around the world.
Condition: Very fine. Abraisions on frame.
