Early Abstract 1926 - Scottish Abstract art modernist oil painting
By William Johnstone
Located in Hagley, England
Scottish artist William Johnstone OBE painted this stunning abstract oil painting. It is a superb important piece of Scottish Art History and early twentieth century abstraction. An early modernist work, dated 1926 so way ahead of its time and other abstract artists.
