About the Item
A commanding work by Hungarian-born French artist Paul Kallos, this large-scale oil on canvas, titled PEINTURE, is a striking example of post-war Abstract Expressionism. Rendered in a richly textured impasto technique, the composition pulses with energy and emotional depth. Kallos employs a sophisticated palette of earthy browns, deep reds, and black, punctuated by luminous flashes of pale yellow, white, and a ghostly blue-green that anchors the central vertical form—possibly evoking a figure or shaft of light.
Gestural and layered, the painting invites interpretation: perhaps a crowded interior or urban scene in motion, or simply an emotional landscape expressed through color and form. The thick, dynamic brushstrokes and confident abstraction reflect Kallos’s mastery of his medium and his affiliation with the second School of Paris, particularly the Lyrical Abstraction movement.
About the Artist:
Paul Kallos (1928–2001) was a pivotal figure in the post-war Parisian art scene. Born in Hungary, he fled to Paris in 1948, joining the ranks of the School of Paris and gaining acclaim for his vibrant, emotive abstractions. He exhibited internationally and is represented in prestigious public and private collections, including the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Kallos’s work is celebrated for its lyrical intensity, rich textural surfaces, and nuanced use of color.
Dimensions:
63.75ʺW × 2ʺD × 45ʺH
This rare and powerful painting is ideal for collectors of mid-century European abstraction and would make a dramatic focal point in any contemporary or modern interior.
