This exceptional 1956 mid-century modern abstract oil on canvas painting is a stellar example of the post-war European avant-garde.

By 1956, Paris had re-established itself as a global pressure-cooker for non-figurative art. French abstract masters like André Lanskoy, Paul Kallos, and Maurice Estève were experimenting with fracturing landscapes into mosaic-like structures. This specific French work brilliantly captures that iconic zeitgeist, using confident, multi-directional cubist strokes that perfectly anchor the 1950s modernist aesthetic. 
Earthy, stabilizing tones of olive green, warm ochre, and deep slate gray are juxtaposed with vibrant, luminous blocks of dusty rose, plum, and soft chartreuse.
Floating inside a custom contemporary light-wood tray frame, the entirety of the 1956 painted edge of the canvas remains completely visible.  The artist’s name is unknown, there is a letter “W” scribed on the inverse.
H: 84 cm x W: 64 cm
