Ernest Briggs
Nature abstraction

1959

About the Item

Briggs is s significant Post War artist who can bring substantial prices and interest with his works from the 1950's. His style during this period was "action painting" and expressive and gestural. This watercolor is particularly beautiful as it does have a underlying landscape and nature element embodied in the vibrant but organic color palette. Works like this are meant to be evocative of what the viewer brings out of them through movement and intuitive paint manipulation that stimulates the eye. This work has lovely rich color for a watercolor and speaks of the best in fine art - not commercial art. Beautifully framed in an expensive and good quality 22 karat leaf frame. Hard and rare to find good works on paper from this time frame that feel complete and well conceived.
