NOÉ CANJURA (Salvadoran/French 1922-1970) A PAINTING, "Sous les Ombrelles," 20TH CENTURY, oil on canvas, signed L/L "Canjura;" 17 3/4'' x 14 3/4'', framed 25 3/4'' x 22 3/4''. Note: Noé Canjura is one of the most acclaimed Salvadoran artists. He was born into a poor, landless family in the village of Apopa, but he showed talent and his parents kept him in school. In the evenings he worked at a sawmill in order to supplement his family's income, but he finished school and in 1942 began his formal artistic studies at the Academy of Painting Valero Lecha in San Salvador. He was soon showing at exhibitions throughout El Salvador and Guatemala. In 1948 he traveled to Mexico City to learn from the great Mexican masters and in 1949 he moved to Paris to study at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts. France became his adopted home and his work began to incorporate ideas from the French Post Impressionists and mid-century modernists. He exhibited regularly at important salons and his reputation grew and solidified. He continued to show his work internationally and between the years 1959 and 1965 the city of Paris purchased four of his works for its permanent collection. He died in 1970 at the age of 48.
