About the Item

Pepe Romero (20th Century), “Garden in the City,” 1958 Oil on Burlap, Signed and Dated Vibrant and expressive, this 1958 abstract oil painting by Pepe Romero captures the bold spirit of postwar abstraction. Titled Garden in the City and inscribed verso, the work is composed of thick, gestural brushstrokes and rich impasto across a vertical composition of layered, saturated color—conveying the dynamic tension between organic growth and urban form. A compelling palette of crimson, ochre, emerald, and cobalt suggests floral and landscape elements viewed through the lens of mid-century abstraction. Signature: Signed and dated lower left “Pepe Romero - 58”; titled verso in graphite. Frame: Presented in a vintage wood frame with warm bronze-gold tone. Dimensions: Sight: 31.25" H × 23.25" W Framed: 33" H × 25.25" W Please note: This item will be professionally packed at the seller's expense to allow for parcel shipping. Condition: Good to fair vintage condition. Moderate craquelure and drying cracks throughout, with notable paint lifting to the lower margin. Minor cracking to upper left. The surface retains its vibrancy and structural integrity overall, though conservation could be considered for preservation. Artist Bio: Pepe Romero was an active painter during the mid-20th century whose work reflects the influence of Abstract Expressionism and the broader international movements of gestural and color-based abstraction. Though biographical details remain scarce, Romero's expressive brushwork, bold palette, and energetic compositions place him in the visual lineage of artists like Hans Hofmann and Joan Mitchell. His dated works from the 1950s suggest an engagement with the avant-garde concerns of the postwar period, emphasizing emotion, spontaneity, and the physicality of paint.
