"the Souk," Oil On Panel, Orientalist Style, Signed E. Feher, Dated 1935

"The souk" oil on orientalist panel signed by E.Feher dated 1935

A moment of life, a genre scene immortalized by oil on a wooden panel..

Straight from the years 1935, this oil on panel signed E.Feher is a genre scene, like a photograph, it expresses a frozen moment of life within a society, a people. Here it is a scene in a covered market, similar to that of Marrakech in Morocco.

Each stroke of the brush seems coarse and amateur, and yet they are filled with details blended into the color, which in reality brings a vision quite different and more veracious than that of a work with pointillist themes. This style is similar to the modernist movement, which appeared at the same time as the Art Deco movement, it aims to be more expressive through an abstract form of shapes and a choice of colors warmer and "expressive"

In this environment, one gradually detects the beauty of details: the play of light and shadows, created by the roof drilled on the ground and the visitors of the market. To the left and at the back, in the shadows, men with their backs negotiating merchandise. At the center, two women, followed by a small child running towards them. And on the right, a table art dealer, with his merchant, sitting in front of his stall.

Both a moment of beauty from everyday life at the market in the Maghreb countries, and stemming from an era that was more modern and more 'free' to explore its art, this magnificent oil on panel with carved wooden frame is waiting for an amateur, to find its place, within a dedicated collection!
