P. Stein 1977 Eggplant Purple and Lavender Square Abstract Color Field Painting

About the Item

This richly textured abstract Color Field painting presents a brooding field of deep eggplant purple with lavender and periwinkle tones breaking through the darkness. The layered, crackled surface employs impasto to create physical dimension atop the canvas. There are breaks of purple and lavender in the upper field, almost like static lightening illuminating a storm cloud. The scale of the painting (36″square) adds to its striking presence. It’s signed and date on the backside, “P. Stein, 1977.” The canvas painting is housed in its original gold painted wood frame. Color Field painting emerged along side Abstract Expressionism during the mid 20th Century. Fields of color became one with the canvas. These works rebuked the tradition of subject in contrast to ground. Artists such as Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman and Clyfford Still eschewed figuration in order to convey ethereal, transcendent visual expressions. 36″ Square Ready to hang. No damage to art. Wood frame has some light age appropriate wear. We currently have an impressive collection of Abstract Expressionist and Color Field paintings dating from the 1960s-1970s.
