About the Item
"Lights at Night" is a bold and atmospheric 1962 abstract oil on canvas by American artist Vincent Pershing O’Brien (1919–1999). A stunning example of Mid-Century Modern cityscape painting, this large-format work captures the kinetic energy and glowing ambiance of an urban night scene. O’Brien uses vivid geometric shapes and saturated tones—deep blues, fiery oranges, neon yellows, and luminous whites—to evoke the rhythm and vibrancy of city lights against a darkened skyline.
The painting measures an impressive 43 ¼ x 68 inches and is presented in a sleek custom frame with total dimensions of 46 x 71 x 1 inches. In good vintage condition, this work highlights O’Brien’s signature style—merging geometric abstraction with architectural elements to create a powerful visual narrative. Please contact us for a detailed condition report.
About the Artist:
Vincent Pershing O’Brien was a prominent figure in 20th-century American abstract art. Known for his striking compositions and use of color, O’Brien explored themes of urban life and spatial abstraction throughout his career. He exhibited widely across the United States, and his paintings are included in notable private and corporate collections. Lights at Night exemplifies his masterful balance of structure, color, and mood—ideal for collectors of Mid-Century Modern or American abstract art.
