拍品資料及來源

此幅作品繪於1931年,羅瓦索最有名的就是他畫中那活力盎然的巴黎:戴高樂廣場、克里尼昂街、弗里德蘭街等。羅瓦索以俯瞰角度描寫凱旋門前大道,繽紛川流的汽車與戴高樂廣場中奧斯曼式建築的靜立相映成趣。

古斯塔夫·羅瓦索為後印象派畫家。他在巴黎和蓬圖瓦長大,父母經營肉店。羅瓦索曾隨一位任裝修工的友人做學徒,期間曾為風景畫家費爾南·基儂的住所裝修,而他也從那裡開始習畫。1887年,羅瓦索得到祖母留下的遺產,使他得以專注作畫。他入讀裝飾藝術學院,修人體寫生,然而,一年後他與老師發生了爭執,隨後羅瓦索選擇了離開學校。

1890年,他造訪布列塔尼的阿旺橋,在那裏與高更和貝爾納結為好友。實驗過點畫派的風格後,他發展出自己獨特的後印象派風格,被稱之為交叉點法,他並直接從大自然中取景。羅瓦索的作品於1893年首次參加巴黎「獨立沙龍展」,1895年參加「國家藝術沙龍展」,並在1890年與1896年與印象派畫家一同展覽。
