About the Item

This superb British Abstract oil painting is by artist Peter Field. Painted circa 1955 on canvas and hung as a landscape, the composition is a large shape with multiple shades of brown, green and black, trans-sected by a dark line. The background below the line has multiple layers of beige on green paint and impasto. The impasto is incredibly heavy in places and the brushwork just superb. You have to see this painting to really appreciate the colours and brushwork but it is absolutely stunning and a fantastic example of Field's abstract oil painting from this period. (There is a painting of bananas and fruit verso). Unsigned. Provenance: Family collection. Condition. Oil on canvas, 21.5 inches by 16 inches and in good condition. Frame. Housed in a distressed surround frame, 27.5 inches by 21.5 inches and in good condition. Peter L Field (born 1920) - painter in oils, printmaker and teacher born in Winson in Gloucestershire.
