View of Paris, a kiosk in Montparnasse, by Marcel Parturier, oil on panel

Marcel Parturier (Havre, 1901 - Paris, 1976), "Kiosk and bus in Paris", oil on panel, signed lower left. Dimensions: 18.5 x 24 cm (without frame), 28 x 33 cm (with frame). Member of the School of Paris, Marcel Parturier (1901-1976) grew up in the capital, with parents of Norman origin. His father, Louis Eugène Parturier, was a painter and founder of the Le Havre society of fine arts. From him, he learned to paint on the subject, during holidays spent with his family on the Normandy coast. When he reached adulthood, he moved to the capital, where he took courses at the Paris School of Fine Arts. After a stay in Tunisia in 1920-1921, where he tinted his palette with brighter colors, he entered the Académie de la Grande Chaumière where he rubbed shoulders with Lucien Simon and Othon Friesz. He exhibited for the first time at just 24 years old, at the Galerie Carmine in Paris. His work is mainly composed of Norman landscapes - some landscapes from Brittany, Provence and the Paris region - and views of Paris, notably the Montparnasse district, where he has his studio and his apartment. Condition: painting in very good condition, framed, note that the frame is very slightly detached on the lower right side.
