About the Item

Experience the bold elegance of Louis Leon Ribak's original mid-century modern abstract painting, a striking composition by the renowned Taos, New Mexico artist. This captivating gouache and watercolor on paper features a commanding black form casting a dynamic shadow against a serene expanse of white and pale blue. Ribak’s signature modernist style shines through, demonstrating his mastery in evoking emotion through minimalist forms, rich contrasts, and subtle color interplay. Hand-signed in the lower right corner, this rare artwork is beautifully framed for preservation and display. It is presented in a custom frame with an 8-ply mat and UV70 protectant glass, safeguarding its delicate tones while enhancing its visual impact. The framed dimensions measure 24 ¾ x 30 ½ x 1 ¼ inches, with the image itself at 17 ½ x 23 ¼ inches, making it a stunning statement piece for any space. An exceptional addition to any modern art collection, this piece embodies Southwestern modernism and the influential legacy of Ribak’s abstract expressionism. Ideal for art collectors, mid-century enthusiasts, and admirers of Taos’ vibrant art scene, this work is a rare opportunity to own a piece of 20th-century American abstraction.
