Description

A signed framed pastel of a street scene by Hungarian born artist Blanka Tauber. We believe the scene is possibly of Malá Strana which is an old part of Prague where Blanka Tauber attended art school.

It is in very good condition, vibrant and ready to hang.

Born in Czechoslovakia, 1910-1989. Blanka Tauber studied art in Prague and later with Fernand Leger in Paris.

In 1937, she visited Palestine and painted the landscape. She was a member of the artists associations in Czechoslovakia and Hungary.

In 1950, she immigrated to Israel. She lived in Tel Aviv-Jaffa and Netanya before settling in the artists colony in Safed. In 1951, she was accepted to the Israel Artists Association and won the Dizengoff Priize.

Tauber's early work is characterized by dark colours, an expressionist style and heavy contours. Her later work is more colourful. She mainly painted landscapes. Died 1989.

Pastel painting gained significant prominence during the Renaissance and reached a peak in popularity during the 18th century for portraiture, before being embraced by Impressionists and Expressionists for its vibrant pigment intensity and immediacy.

Pastels consist of pure powdered pigment bound with a gum or resin binder, traditionally applied to textured papers, boards, or prepared canvases designed to grip the delicate chalk particles.

Authentic pieces typically exhibit genuine paper ageing, artist signatures, framing methods consistent with the period, and the distinctive powdery texture under magnification, often protected behind glass to prevent smudging.

Hanging original artwork in simple, clean-lined frames allows the historical texture and colour palette to act as a focal point, contrasting effectively against neutral contemporary walls.

Pastels must be framed under glass with a mat or spacer to prevent the artwork from touching the glass surface, and should be kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity to protect the delicate pigments.
