About the Publication: Maurice Esteve, Peintres d'aujourd'hui (Maurice Esteve, Painters of Today), published in Paris in 1961 by Fernand Hazan, Editeur, stands as one of the most distinguished albums in the celebrated Peintres d'aujourd'hui series. Dedicated to presenting the foremost modern artists of the mid-20th century, the publication unites critical scholarship and the finest Parisian craftsmanship in fine art printmaking. Produced under the technical direction of Bussière et Nouel and printed by l'Imprimerie Lecot, the heliogravures exemplify the tonal precision and aesthetic refinement characteristic of the Hazan editions. The collaboration of l'Imprimerie Darantiere and F.I.A.P., following the models of Marcel Jacno, reflects the exceptional synthesis of design, technique, and scholarship that defined the Peintres d'aujourd'hui series. Conceived as both a visual and intellectual record of postwar modernism, the 1961 Hazan edition remains a landmark in the French tradition of art publishing—uniting critical discourse, printing mastery, and curatorial vision to preserve the spirit and innovation of modern abstraction. About the Artist: Maurice Esteve (1904–2001) was a French painter, draftsman, and lithographer whose lifelong devotion to color, form, and harmony established him as one of the great masters of postwar abstraction and a central figure of 20th-century French modernism. Born in Culan, France, Esteve was largely self-taught, moving to Paris in the 1920s where he immersed himself in the avant-garde circles of Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassily Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray—artists whose innovations in abstraction, surrealism, and modern form profoundly shaped his artistic vision. Drawing from the Cubist structure of Picasso and Braque, the lyrical freedom of Miro and Kandinsky, and the humanist warmth of Bonnard and Matisse, Esteve forged a uniquely personal visual language that merged geometric precision with emotional resonance. His mature works—composed of radiant interlocking forms and glowing chromatic harmonies—embody a sense of balance and rhythm that feels both musical and architectural, transforming color into an expressive force of light, energy, and emotion. A leading figure of the Ecole de Paris, alongside Jean Bazaine, Alfred Manessier, and Serge Poliakoff, Esteve helped define the lyrical abstraction movement that bridged the gap between European modernism and American color field painting. His art, celebrated for its refined craftsmanship and spiritual intensity, rejects rigid formalism in favor of a meditative balance between intellect and intuition, order and improvisation. Over his six-decade career, Esteve’s paintings and lithographs were exhibited worldwide, including at the Venice Biennale, the Musee National d’Art Moderne, and the Fondation Maeght, and his work is represented in major collections such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the Tate Modern in London, and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. His influence extends to later generations of lyrical abstractionists, color field painters, and contemporary designers who continue to draw inspiration from his synthesis of color and emotion. Collectors prize his work for its timeless elegance, chromatic vitality, and spiritual depth—qualities that link him to the great innovators of his century, including Picasso, Miro, Dali, Kandinsky, Calder, Duchamp, Giacometti, and Man Ray. His highest auction record was achieved by Composition 1955, which sold for $1.6 million at Sotheby’s, Paris, on June 6, 2018, confirming Maurice Esteve’s enduring legacy as one of the most poetic, harmonious, and collectible abstract painters of the modern era.

Abstract (Edition 24/75)

By Bram Van Velde

Located in Missouri, MO

Abstract (Edition 24/75) By Bram van Velde (1895-1981) Signed and Numbered Bottom Center Without Frame: 37" x 24" With Frame: 37.75" x 24.75" Bram (Abraham Gerardus) van Velde was a Dutch painter known for an intensely colored and geometric semi-representational painting style related to Tachisme*, and Lyrical Abstraction*. He is often seen as member of the School of Paris* but his work resides somewhere between expressionism* and surrealism*, and evolved in the 1960s into an expressive abstract art. His paintings from the 1950s are similar to the contemporary work of Matisse, Picasso and the abstract expressionist Adolph Gottlieb. He was championed by a number of French-speaking writers, including Samuel Beckett and the poet André du...
