Mountains

SOLD.

A very striking mid century abstract modernist oil on canvas, painted in 1955.

Blocks of colour skilfully contrasted against each other create a sense of depth and space. The artist has reduced what appears to be a mountainous landscape down to an abstract layout of coloured blocks, focussing on form, shape, pattern and line. We can almost feel the artist at work – creamy layers of paint applied with his brush, one stroke at a time, his wrist moving in a series of angles.  Punches of strong, deep colour juxtapose against lighter, creamier, areas. This painting is  indeed a very satisfying one to appreciate.

The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame, which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

Size: 51 x 63 cm (including frame)
