"Animated Landscape Popular Scene / Naive Art Signed Matkulenska Paris 1932 Oil On Canvas"
Lively scene of women in an undergrowth carrying out daily activities - laundry, cooking, wallpapering. The artist Matkulenska, about whom very little information circulates, was really similarly domiciled from the 1930s - the painting is signed 1932. One would think here of a scene of memory, between naive art and folk scene, an epiphany of popular traditions and a way of life linked to the traveling people, as the cart behind suggests. The graphic style and the apparent naivety of the characters give a certain strength to the work. This one is sold as is: good general condition apart from dirt. Dimensions: 81 cm x 65 cm (without frame. 96 cm x 80 cm (with frame).
