ATTRIBUTED TO OSCAR RABIN RUSSIAN SOVIET ERA OIL PAINTING - An oil on canvas painting attributed to acclaimed Russian-French nonconformist artist Oscar Rabin. Dated 1982, this surrealist composition features a stylized still life with a purple-blooming tree growing from a water-filled glass jar containing three fish, set on a bright yellow table beside a teacup and a newspaper displaying the Cyrillic word ”ГАЗЕТА”, all against a muted cityscape background. The artwork demonstrates expressive texture characteristic of the artist's style and bears a signature and date reading ”O. RABINE 82” in the lower left corner, reflecting the French spelling adopted during his exile to Paris. The piece is presented in a wide gold-toned frame, and the protective backing board retains a modern affixed Russian retail purchase receipt. soviet nonconformist art, russian avant garde, surreal still life, oskar rabine, paris period art, framed canvas, contemporary russian art, attributed artwork.
