AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Title: Fish Cup

School: European School (20th century)

Style: Figurative Expressionist

Technique: Oil on canvas

The work depicts a large glass bowl or vessel of translucent crystal, viewed up close, containing several fish in orange and reddish hues. The aquatic figures seem suspended in an ambiguous, almost dreamlike space, reinforced by a dark, deep background that envelops the scene. The brushwork is loose and textural, with chromatic overlays that create greenish, bluish, and ochre reflections on the glass, lending dynamism and a sense of movement. The composition conveys an introspective and symbolic atmosphere, where the motif of the fish and the vessel take on a nearly metaphoric character, characteristic of a twentieth-century Expressionist sensibility.

The work is presented with a carved and gilded wooden frame, in a classic profile, with soft moldings and an aged finish. The frame enhances the composition, adding warmth and contrast to the painting's chromatic depth.

Remarks:

The frame comes as a gift. It may be damaged during transport even if it is properly packaged.

Exceptionally, shipping costs may be affected by an additional charge due to reasons such as being outside a continental territory, excess measurements, or weight of the item. Under no circumstances will PremiArt cover this additional charge.

Due to border issues with Switzerland, we regret to inform you that shipments exceeding 1 meter in length or height to that destination will not be carried out.
