Joseph Pressmane (1904-1967) - River port - Creil, 1958. Oil on canvas Dimensions: 50 × 73.5 cm (+ frame) Signed and dated lower left: 58 J. Pressmane Provenance: Private collection, Israel This work depicts the port landscape of Creil – a French town on the Oise – captured in Pressmane's signature style, combining expressive brushstrokes with a subtle interplay of color. The reduced palette, the dominance of blues and grays, and the relaxed texture create an atmosphere of silence and subtle melancholy. Joseph Pressmane, a Polish-French painter associated with the École de Paris, became renowned for his portraits and landscapes, in which he combined the tradition of the Paris School with his personal sensitivity. In the 1950s, the artist eagerly explored themes of cityscapes and riverscapes, imbuing them with a poetic and intimate character. Additional fees: +5% / 3% Droit de suite
