French figurative painter Paul Aïzpiri, with his vivid and rich unique painting style, is highly favored by European and Japanese collectors. Coastal or riverfront cityscapes are his most popular painting subjects. He entered the National School of Fine Arts in 1936 and began exhibiting in Paris from 1943. In 1951, he received the National Award and represented France at the Venice Biennale. In 1957, he participated in the "Paris School" group exhibition with famous painters such as Picasso. Aïzpiri's painting style sublimates the essence of artistic trends such as Fauvism, Cubism, and Expressionism in the mid-20th century, and is innocent, romantic, imaginative, and unique. His early gloomy artistic style gradually became brighter and more open as French society recovered after the war. The painting "Memories of Amsterdam" is saturated in color, with brilliant and lively brushstrokes, perfectly depicting the characteristic architectural scenery of the Dutch capital.
