Description from the seller
Unidentified artist (European school, mid-20th century)
Interior of the artist's workshop
Oil on canvas
Signed: Not visible
Origin: Important private collection in Madrid.
Framed artwork
Impactful large-format composition depicting the interior of an artist's workshop, executed with powerful chromatic energy and a plastic language characteristic of the European avant-garde of the mid-20th century.
The scene, dominated by a vibrant atmosphere and an intense palette of reds, yellows, blues, and greens, conveys dynamism, modernity, and a clear exaltation of the creative act. The central figure of the painter, surrounded by canvases, easels, and sculptures, is integrated into an environment where color and form dialogue with expressive freedom, evoking both the spontaneity of Fauvism and the constructive rhythm of modern Expressionism, with certain echoes of Futurism due to its fragmented and rhythmic composition.
The interior space, resolved with energetic brushstrokes and decisive lines, transforms the room into a sensory explosion of light and movement. The architectural structures, objects, and figures blend into a harmonious whole, where emotion replaces the academic perspective.
Coming from an important private collection in Madrid, this work is presented framed, highlighting its large format, vibrant colors, and compositional freedom—attributes that place it within the most expressive and modern line of post-war European painting.
A piece with high visual impact and notable decorative presence, ideal for collectors seeking works with personality, intensity, and a clear connection to avant-garde aesthetics.
