Oil on paper, framed. Featuring a portrait of a young woman. Signed and attr. Moise Kisling (French-Polish, 1891-1953) on the lower left corner. Marked with gallery seal on verso. 27.5 x 19.5 cm (10.8 x 7.7 inches). Frame size: 31.5 x 23 cm (12.4 x 9.1 inches). Moise Kisling was a French-Polish painter best known for his highly stylized, unsettling portraits. Born on January 22, 1891 in Krakow, Austria-Hungary, he moved to Paris in 1910 where he established himself as an artist. He rented a studio in the district of Montmarte and gained contact with contemporary Parisian ex-pat painters, notably including Jules Pascin and Amedeo Modigliani. His oeuvre includes landscapes, nudes, and portraiture, all painted in his unique style: blocky, bold, simplistic environments containing stylistically exaggerated figures with wide-set limbs and eyes. Kisling died on April 29, 1953 in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, France and a substantial portion of his works are housed in the Musee du Petit Palais in Geneva, Switzerland PROVENANCE: Southern Ontario estate
