Vintage Original Oil Painting Impressionist Surrealist Magician -Signed READ ALL. This is a more modern painting and a replica or fake. It was painted on canvas and is real original oil painting, however it is not an R.
Varo painting and was painted by someone else as dupe. Nevertheless- this is a cool painting which is interesting and well done. The scene is of a traveling stage show. A magician is out front juggling white spheres on a fold-out green platform.
There is a small table and chest on legs holding his other equipment. Behind him in the cart is another person and living quarters complete with an owl perched on the back of a chair. Blue birds fly around the roof and there appear to be some apparatus and rigging for magical furled sails.
The performance is taking place inside a city square. Buildings with shadowy arches in a block make up the edges and trees poke over under the dark night sky. The audience are a strange group of people- similar in face and hair- and all wearing grey robes which snake together as one undulant mass of drapery.
This is brings the "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" to mind, a very interesting and dream-like movie. Varo signature again is not original to the name however it is located in the bottom right corner. As found, minor wear- dust.
