Untitled/Interior Scene - Original Oil on Canvas by J-I Mus - Mid 20th Century

Mid 1900

About the Item

Untitled is an original artwork realized by Italo Mus in the first half of the XX Century. Original oil on painting. Hand-signed on the lower right: I. Mus. On the back are present the stamps. Very good conditions. Very interesting and beautiful colored artwork representing an interior with two figures of . The colors are brilliant and very lively with different nuances and shades of different contrasting colors. The work has been realized by Joseph-Italo Mus (Châtillon, 4 April 1892 - Saint-Vincent, 15 May 1967). Mus was an Italian painter; he realized about two thousand works including drawings, sketches, paintings with different subjects, technique and conception and that can be divided by the artist into three well-defined periods. Between 1920 and 1940 the works that mostly characterize the artist are born, from these years "interiors, the haystacks, the landscapes and the dances" that tell scenes of the mountain life of Aosta. Between 1941 and 1958 the pictorial touch of the artist undergoes a change and his paintings become a pretext for "making color". Indeed, fantasy prevails over reality and, moreover, the artist wanted to be inspired by the sgraffito by exploiting the effect of the cast on tissue paper. Between 1959 and 1967 the artist tries a return to the origins by drawing again with ink and charcoal and is preparing to perform sketches for large works intended for public buildings in the valley. This artwork is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 70 years ago by an artist who has died requires a licence for export regardless of the work’s market price. The shipping may require additional handling days to require the licence according to the final destination of the artwork.

  • Guy Pene du Bois WPA American Modernism Realism NYC Scene Oil Lawyers in Court
    By Guy Pène Du Bois
    Located in New York, NY
    Guy Pene du Bois' "Two Figures in Courtroom" is a WPA era American scene oil painting created in a realistic style. Modernism at its best The work is framed by Heydenryk. Pène du Bois descended from French immigrants who settled in Louisiana in 1738 and was raised in a Creole household. He was born in 1884 in Brooklyn, NY and first studied with William Merritt Chase at the New York School of Art and later continued his training with Robert Henri. Pène du Bois was greatly impressed with Henri's credo that "real life" was subject matter for art and throughout his life a realist philosophy informed his art as well as his parallel career, art criticism. In 1905, Pène du Bois made his first visit to Paris where he painted scenes of fashionable people in cafes rendered in the dark tonalities and impasto associated with the Ashcan School. By 1920, he had achieved his mature style, which was characterized by stylized, rounded, almost sculptural figures painted with invisible brushstrokes. The subjects of his paintings were often members of society whom he gently satirized. In 1924, Pène du Bois and his wife, Floy, left for France where they would remain until 1930. Returning to America showcases pictures the artist produced after this very productive period abroad. After five years of living in France, Pène du Bois was able to observe American life with fresh eyes. His work becomes more psychologically intense and less satirical. In Girl at Table a slender, blond is shown gazing at a small statue that she holds at arm's distance. The meaning is elusive, but a powerful sense of longing is evoked. Similarly, paintings such as Dramatic Moment and Jane are taut with unresolved dialogue. Both pictures depict mysterious interiors in which a lone woman anxiously awaits the denouement of a suspenseful scene. Other pictures, for example, Chess Tables, Washington Square and Bar, New Orleans, recall Pene du Bois's Ashcan origins in their depiction of urban entertainment. During this period, landscape becomes an important subject for Pène du Bois. Girl Sketching...
