Description
Nador's body of work primarily included scenes from the french countryside, nude portraits of women, flowers and still-lifes. He favoured painting techniques that brought out a lively quality in otherwise lifeless objects using broad and pronounced brush strokes. Viewing his body of work, you can tell he was truly a painter who drew inspiration from his everyday surroundings.
Café Sur Un Jour Sombre, painted by Nandor Vagh Weinmann (Hungarian, 1897-1978)
Nador's use of layering paint in this piece lets the viewer feel a sense of the heaviness in the air. Winter clouds blanket the sky and snow rests on the rooftops in this European street view. The only sense of color comes from a few brightly dressed figures in the bottom right corner of the painting about to enter the cafe, the main focal point although not as towering as the surrounding buildings but stands out from Nador's use of color.
