About the Item

Abstract work on special paper, created using a mixed media technique that includes watercolor, diluted tempera, and ink. The piece clearly belongs to the abstract and expressionist movement typical of the early 1960s. It bears a signature (illegible) and is dated 1966. The composition stands out for its dynamic interplay of graphic marks and transparent layers of color—shades of blue, oxide red, ochre, and black—forming a complex and visually rich structure. The pictorial language recalls the European aesthetic—particularly French and Italian—of Art Informel (or gestural abstraction) and Tachisme, movements that emerged in the 1950s and 1960s, with affinities to the gestural experimentation of artists like Emilio Scanavino and Georges Mathieu. It is a language that relies on spontaneous gesture and material texture, also echoing elements of American Abstract Expressionism—think Franz Kline or Robert Motherwell—yet with a more lyrical and intimate tone. Particularly noteworthy is the type of paper used by the artist: thick, compact, with a visibly pronounced grain and a slightly rigid feel. This highly tactile support plays a key role in enhancing the expressive impact of the work. The condition is good, with minor signs of age consistent with the artwork’s period. Dimensions: width 37 cm (18.5 in), height 50 cm (27.6 in). The piece is sold unframed, allowing the buyer to select a presentation that best suits their space and interior style.
