Oil on cardboard 37x58 cm "The banks of the Tiber in Rome" 1954
Signed and dated lower left
Swiss painter, who settled in Paris from 1920 to 1939, Adian Holy exhibited in the Salons des Indépendants and des Tuileries.
He established links with the Painters of Poetic Reality such as Planson and in the world of Theater, creating sets, notably for Louis Jouvet, and decorative panels for the Theaters of the Champs Elysées and Pigale.
In this view of Rome, we find the kinship with Poetic Reality, where art is realistic but sensitive and transposed.
