José Gurvich

Escena Ciudad And Paisaje (a Double-sided Work)

1953

A vibrant double-sided canvas by Uruguayan-Israeli artist José Gurvich showcases his distinctive synthesis of Constructivist geometry and expressive figuration. One side presents an animated urban scene filled with bustling human figures and architectural forms, while the reverse offers a richly layered landscape pulsating with color and life. Together, the two compositions reflect Gurvich's deep engagement with community, nature, and the rhythms of everyday existence.
