Alexandre Magaram the painter (1894- 1938) vividly describes the streets and roofs of Paris. 80 years later, there continues to be numerous exhibitions on the subject. Paris is asking that the zinc-covered roofs of Paris be granted World Heritage status.

Born in Odessa, Alexandre Magaram was a Belorussian, previously known as a white Russian. He created camouflage for the French army during WWI. He was politically engaged all his life and was assisting the French government in the late 1930’s against Stalin's purges. He received a convocation from most likely the NKVD at the Soviet Union embassy in Paris in 1938 and subsequently vanished.

Alexandre Magaram in 1926, was known in Paris as one of the most talented young masters of modern art. In love with Paris, he captures all of its beauty and charm.

 A "fauve" piece, Butler painted this blue tree as the autumn.  l counterpart in a seasonal duet to the other blue tree in the winter version. In this particular piece the tree is more dominant, with curving branches in all directions evoking a fall wind, knocking the leaves to the earth floor beneath it. The blue of t is tree is visceral and purplish. The Impressionist leaves are scattered beneath, while the new Fauvism of the blue tree rises out of them. His home is more prominent in the background of this autumnal version as are all the trees staged behind this blue one. The rooftop, the leaves on the tree and the ground are all united with his dance of brushstrokes.
