About the Item

Yvonne Kracht's 1964 painting *Zee* marks her transition from abstract expressionism to geometric abstraction. The composition features textured hues of deep brown, black, and muted beige, arranged in precise geometric shapes reminiscent of machine parts. This work reflects Kracht's pursuit of combining rational structures with emotional depth, a defining aspect of her evolving style in the 1960s. Born in Rotterdam in 1931, Kracht studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague and the National Higher Institute for Fine Arts in Antwerp before joining the *Liga Nieuw Beelden*, a group dedicated to post-war artistic innovation. *Zee* exemplifies Kracht’s unique ability to blend an abstract narrative rigor with textural complexity, cementing her legacy in Dutch modernism. This early painting is a rare and powerful example of Kracht's material explorations—poised between gestural abstraction and sculptural surface. A museum-worthy addition to any collection of 20th-century European avant-garde. She brought together ratio and emotion in roughly brushed drawings of mathematical principles. Kracht’s paintings and sculptures are found in numerous collections, including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Centraal Museum Utrecht signed front and signed & dated verso DIMENSIONS h 75 cm w 55 cm cm PERIOD 1960s / 1964 PLACE OF ORIGIN The Netherlands / Germany PROVENANCE private collection, NL, MATERIALS mixed media on canvas CONDITION in good vintage condition Please note: This is a unique vintage item and has trace of use/storage and may have cracks/loss of paint.
