Two Little Witches, an oil painting on canvas by Manuel Pardo (1951), dated 1970–1980, from Spain, sold with a frame.
Description from the seller
- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Hand-signed by the artist.
- The graphics of the seventies possessed a chromatic audacity and a freedom of stroke that transformed fairy tale illustration into a psychedelic feast of organic shapes and impossible worlds. Those images did not seek academic correction, but a vibrant expressiveness where the Grimms brothers’ forests were populated with geometric patterns and gigantic flowers, reflecting an era that embraced fantasy as a boundless territory of experimentation. In this scenario, the Beatle-esque fringe was not just a hairstyle, but the aesthetic banner of a youth who integrated pop culture into the child imagination, endowing princes and elves with urban, rebellious modernity that today exudes an irresistibly avant-garde nostalgia.
- Image dimensions unframed: 60 x 71 cm / 65 x 77 cm with exclusive custom frame.
