AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is an abstract work by the Polish painter Stefan Knapp (July 11, 1921 – October 12, 1996).
The work has at a few spots small missing patches of paint (see photos).
The artwork is painted on both sides.
Knapp was a Polish painter and sculptor who worked mainly in Great Britain.
He developed and patented a technique whereby he painted with enamel paint on steel, which made it possible to decorate large-scale architectural and public structures.
His traumatic experiences in the Gulag and later as a pilot with the RAF caused years of recurring nightmares and insomnia.
As a result, he used his art as a form of therapy.
This led, in the late forties, to a series of works titled Gulag, which were notable for their use of experimental techniques.

Dimensions: 81 x 91 cm

Viewing is, of course, possible. Additionally, we have our own in-house framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary. Furthermore, we collaborate with restorers from the professional organization: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you wish to make use of this service, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
