Michael Forster
Abstraction, Mauves

1981

About the Item

This marvelous work done in the rich palette of mauves and intermittent blues, greens and whites is a dynamic work that would bring movement to any room. Forster was a Canadian artist who went to Mexico for an extended time and was immersed with the famous artists of the time such as Rufino Tamayo. Forster became of founding member of the surrealist movement in Canada. He referred to this type of painting as one of his "inner Landscapes" and in many ways also draws upon ideas he took away from J. W. Turners works. It is in a lovely and high quality gold leafed frame of modern profile. The size of the work is 24 x 31 inside the frame so our listed size is its total dimensions.
