1960s Mid-Century Expressionist Oil Painting by Felmart — “Parisian Street Artist” (1967) 16" W X 31" H

This captivating mid-century oil painting by Felmart, titled “Parisian Street Artist,” offers a powerful, textured portrait of a bohemian figure set against the hazy backdrop of post-war Paris. Painted in 1967, this work showcases Felmart’s signature impasto style — bold palette knife strokes layered with rich earth tones, deep reds, and muted teals to form a rugged, soulful silhouette. The subject, a bearded artist with walking cane and bundled brushes, evokes themes of creative persistence, solitude, and the wandering intellectual spirit. The stylized cityscape in the background adds subtle narrative depth while allowing the figure to remain the bold focal point. Framed in an ornate, period-appropriate carved wood frame with a distressed ivory finish and metallic accents, this piece is both a striking visual statement and a rare collector’s find.
