Marcelle Tournié
Mid-Century Abstract Oil and Acrylic on Board..

1960s

About the Item

Mid-Century modern abstract oil and acrylic on canvas by French artist Marcelle Tournié, signed bottom right. A fine example of mid-century abstract painting. This piece has great line, colour and impact and follows firmly in the tradition of the modern art style. Abstraction has many levels from the highly abstract of Piet Mondrian to the more recognisable abstracted shapes of Picasso. This painting falls between the two where the painting is ultimately composed of shapes and colours yet forms can be distinguished within. A real eye catcher. There are many theoretical ideas behind abstract art. While some have taken the idea of 'art for art’s sake' (that art should be purely about the creation of beautiful effects), others have proposed art can or should be like music, in that just as music is patterns of sound, art’s effects should be created by pure patterns of form, colour and line. The idea, derived from the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, that the highest form of beauty lies not in the forms of the real world but in geometry, is also used in discussion of abstract art, as is the idea that abstract art, since it does not represent the material world, can be seen to represent the spiritual.
