Lot description

Artist: Samuel Borenstein (Canadian, 1908–1969) Title: Street in Ste. Agathe, 1967 Medium: Oil on Masonite Signed lower right; dated June 12, 1969, etched in paint at upper right Provenance: Walter Klinkoff Gallery, Montreal Image: 12" x 24" Frame: 17 1/2" x 29 1/4" Condition: Very good condition aside from a few minor nicks to the frame.   About: Sam Borenstein was a Canadian painter recognized for his dynamic and colorful expressionist style. Born in Lithuania and based in Montreal, Borenstein captured the energy of Quebec’s city streets, villages, and rural landscapes through bold brushwork and vivid color palettes. His work is associated with the Montreal art scene of the mid-20th century and often reflects a personal, almost whimsical interpretation of the world around him. Borenstein's paintings remain a vital part of Canadian art history, bridging European expressionism with local subject matter.
