Abstract Blue Jazz Painting by Marcuson c. 1966
About the Item
This painting from the collection of Malcolm H. Waldren Jr., dated 1966, featuring a trio of abstract, faceless musicians immersed in their performance draws inspiration from the Cubist and Expressionist movements, blending geometric abstraction with emotional intensity. The elongated, mask-like faces and fragmented forms are reminiscent of Pablo Picasso’s later works, particularly his experiments with African-inspired art and simplified features in pieces like Les Demoiselles d'Avignon. The muted blue palette recalls Picasso's Blue Period, evoking melancholy and introspection.
The textured brushwork and emotive energy also suggest influences from German Expressionism, particularly the works of Emil Nolde or Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, with their emphasis on raw, emotional resonance and dramatic contrasts. Additionally, the stylized musicians and jazz theme nod to mid-20th-century Harlem Renaissance art, evoking the works of Romare Bearden, though more abstracted in form.
Signature by Marcuson in the bottom left of the face of the painting. Please confirm item pickup location (Brooklyn or NJ) with seller.
