About the Item
A commanding piece of Mid-Century abstraction, this painting composition by American artist Canthi—signed and dated 1961—exudes raw, architectural energy layered over a vivid color field. The work masterfully juxtaposes searing yellow and orange tones against a brooding brutalist palette of black and earthy browns, creating a dynamic visual tension that feels both spontaneous and deliberate.
Infused with modernist rigor yet unmistakably expressive, the composition resonates with the bold experimentation of its era. Original to the piece, a black wood frame is accented by a large burnt-orange matte and glass protection, enhancing the drama of the artwork while preserving its mid-century authenticity.
A striking addition to any collection of postwar American art or design-forward interiors, this piece offers both historical resonance and contemporary boldness.
