Original Description
The bold, enigmatic Portrait De Femme A La Cigarette by Hugo Scheiber (1873-1950) crackles with Bohemian intensity. Painted during his Berlin period in the 1920s, this Expressionist masterpiece captures a modern woman exhaling cigarette smoke with provocative nonchalance. Scheiber’s jagged brushstrokes electrify the composition – her angular cheekbones glow in sickly yellow against a fractured background of bruised purples and acid greens, while the cigarette’s ember mirrors the sitter’s smoldering gaze. As a Hungarian artist working alongside Die Brücke members, Scheiber bridged Central European Expressionism with Parisian avant-garde flair. The work embodies Weimar-era decadence, its defiant femininity challenging conservative portraiture traditions through dissonant color and psychological rawness. Today, it’s celebrated as a pivotal artifact of interwar transgressive art, where smoke becomes both accessory and metaphor for fleeting modernity.
For interiors, this painting demands strategic placement. Its 65 × 50 cm dimensions suit a focused wall space – consider a study with walnut shelves or a moody café-style office corner. Flank it with 1920s archival photographs in black frames to enhance its historical grit, or let it dominate a wall painted in Farrow & Ball’s Down Pipe for gallery-worthy contrast. The artwork’s blue-ocher palette pairs beautifully with cognac leather chairs and matte brass accents. In minimalist spaces, its vibrant chaos becomes a striking counterpoint; for maximalist settings, echo its colors through velvet cushions in aubergine and mustard. Avoid symmetrical arrangements – lean it slightly askew on a floating shelf with art books to channel Scheiber’s rebellious spirit. Collector’s note: Always use museum-glass framing to protect the volatile pigments while intensifying their lurid glow.
