Oil painting on canvas Marseille signed J. Toucas 1964 fauvist style

An old street in Marseille immortalised in 1964 by J. Toucas — a character piece that breathes the sun and authenticity of the South. The composition draws the eye into a lively perspective: façades in ochre yellow, green and white hues, characteristic red roofs, and in the vanishing point, an elegant pink bell tower with a burgundy spire. A bakery-patisserie under its green awning, silhouettes dressed in 60s fashion — the scene of daily life is captured with remarkable vitality. The style recalls post-war Provençal Fauvism: flat areas of bright colours, bold black outlines, simplified forms with beautiful spontaneity. The canvas, mounted on a wooden frame, is in good condition, with no apparent damage. Dimensions: 46 × 38 cm, depth 2 cm. Signed and dated 1964 at the bottom of the canvas. Perfect for adding a sunny and historical touch to a living room, hallway, or library — ready to find its place in your home.
