About the Item
"The Vanguard Series Nr. XIX: A Collection of Postwar European Abstractions", oil on board, by unknown artist (circa 1950s–70s). A compelling body of work emerging from the forgotten studios and ateliers of postwar Europe, this collection brings together vibrant, abstract compositions created by a loosely connected group of artists believed to have been active between the 1950s and 1970s, based on materials, techniques, and provenance. The paintings in this series reflect the enduring influence of early 20th-century modernism. Cubist structures, fractured perspectives, and bold colour fields hint at the legacy of Picasso, Braque, and Gris, while the raw energy and inventiveness speak to a generation determined to chart its own artistic path after the war. They are strikingly modern yet rich with historic resonance. These artworks were unearthed in recent years from long-forgotten caches and have been gently conserved. Their charm lies not only in their aesthetic power but in their mystery—each one a fragment from an artistic movement that never had a name, but whose spirit lives on in these compelling pieces. Each one invites curiosity, conversation, and a deeper engagement with the enduring impact of modernism in all its many forms. This painting is in good overall condition having received a light conservation treatment with a process developed by an art restoration specialist. Signed on the lower right hand but illegible. It is newly framed with a linen slip. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing.
