About the Item
This 1971 oil on board landscape by Y. Melo presents an abstracted natural scene executed in a refined Cubist style. The composition flattens and segments a hillside view into interlocking planes of earth tones and soft blues, creating a rhythmic arrangement of simplified tree forms and distant mountains.
The treatment is highly architectural: foliage and landmass are rendered as overlapping ellipses, arcs, and angular volumes. Vertical trunks and limbs sweep across the picture plane, acting as compositional scaffolding and establishing a dynamic contrast against the rounded, volumetric forms. The influence of early 20th-century Cubism is evident, yet Melo softens the geometry with a modernist painterly sensitivity and a muted, autumnal palette.
The surface is subtly textured and matte, with thin washes and passages of dry brushwork visible throughout. Signed and dated lower right: Y. MELO 71. The piece remains in its original New York gallery-style frame by Max Granick, a known framer for midcentury modernists.
