Eventually, he would take French citizenship.
Taubert's works have been described as modern and personal. In his youth, the artist spent a great deal of time painting in East Asia, South America and Scandinavia, inspired in turn by each of these locales.
During World War II, Taubert became an active member of the resistance, helping over 300 people escape from occupied France. Captured by the Gestapo in 1944, he remained a prisoner until the end of the war.
After the war, Taubert resumed his work, notably painting a portrait of Churchill. An internationally recognised artist, Taubert's paintings are in the collections of the Musee d’Art Moderne in Paris as well as in museums in Strasbourg, Milan, and Buenos Aires.
The work presented here is a relatively early one, dating from the late 1930s or 40s. An oil painted on board, it is signed at the lower right and presented in its original frame. While the painting is in very good condition, there is repair visible to the gilded frame, which remains nonetheless attractive. The overall framed size is 67 x 57 cm.
