* VIDA GABOR (HUNGARIAN 1937 - 2007), IN THE WORKSHOP
oil on board, monogrammed
framed
image size 39cm x 29cm, overall size 62cm x 51cm
Note: Vida Gabor was born to a simple Hungarian family in 1937. Largely self-taught as a painter, his work uses many unique techniques, including designing his own brushes and tools. he technique that Gabor uses in his painting is referred to as "scumbling", which involves the application of a thin layer of colour placed over a darker under paint, with numerous translucent layers applied on top. His work focuses on European life, with scenes full of character and humour, the majority of which depict scenes at night, using soft candlelight and street lamps to create a warm and intimate ambient. Similar scenes have previously been attributed to the French artist Victor Goulard. There has been some discussion as to whether Vida Gabor may have signed earlier works "Goulard", possibly in order to appeal to the French market.
