About the Item

'Echoes of the Avant-Garde: Mid-Century Visions III', oil on board (circa 1970s). Step into a world where the spirit of early 20th-century modernism meets the bold experimentation of the 1970s. This curated collection, Echoes of the Avant-Garde: Mid-Century Visions, features numerous striking oil paintings crafted by a circle of enigmatic artists who often left only their initials as a signature. Many are inspired by the groundbreaking styles of Picasso, Braque, and Gris, reinterpreting cubist aesthetics with bold lines, earthy tones, and dynamic brushwork. Cubists abandoned perspective and realism, instead portraying figures and objects from various angles like geometric planes. Each piece captures a sense of timeless innovation, making them the perfect addition to any collection or interior seeking a touch of artistic history. These one-of-a-kind pieces are steeped in mystery, their origins and creators adding to their allure. Whether displayed individually or as a group, they resonate with the power of modern art's most influential movements. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video will be provided. Bring home a piece of artistic intrigue and celebrate the echoes of the avant-garde. Available for purchase as a collection or individually. The artist signed the work - one of the very few that is signed with a full name - in the lower right hand: 'P. Charon'. It is in good overall condition having been recently cleaned using a process developed by an art restoration professional. It is newly framed with a French-style linen slip. About the Artist: Our gallery has access to a cache of paintings from the 1950s to the 1970s attributed to an art collective whose traces start with Germany. Berlin to start, but also Dresden, along the Saale, Weimar, Brera in Milan and Brussels. From the post-war period and onwards, they hosted young people who experimented with different painting techniques with exceptionally creative results. Over the years, dedicated art-seekers managed to unearth a treasure trove of these works from forgotten repositories. Once examined, the paintings were presented first to the Italian art market and then beyond, to art lovers in Europe and the United States. Quietly, but surely, word of mouth scattered the news of the existence of these found artworks: cubist, expressionist, futurist and avant-garde. Trying to label these pieces doesn’t do them justice truly, but to call them studies, sketches, or simply, creations, would be more accurate. It is interesting to note the artworks were very often unsigned, but often as not, initialled or monogrammed. Using known masterpieces as reference, their mentors suggested a particular style with which to experiment. Regrettably, this makes it impossible to pinpoint who amongst these bright creatives ‘made it’ in the world of art. But it really doesn’t matter. Each piece we've selected is extraordinary and therein lies the interest in these works. Notwithstanding that, several galleries have acquired and are now selling these works. This clearly speaks to the widespread assessment of the quality and interest of the art. Today, the artists’ creations hang on the walls of art lovers in London, Paris, New York, Hong Kong, Miami and Los Angeles. Galleries scramble to acquire the works having recognised the outstanding potential in the international art markets for these pieces with such fascinating origins.
