Description from the seller
This is a painting by Gérard Grassère, an artist within the abstract-expressionist painting. He was trained by Isidoor Opsomer and was friends with Otto van Rees. In his work creativity is central as a means to achieve freedom and to break away from fear and narrow-mindedness.
His paintings show a strong love of color and pigment and often contain deeper layers of meaning, such as the connectedness between humans and nature. In works such as “Broken circle and elegy in space” he depicts the human being who approaches reality in a searching and cautious way.
Grassère was inspired by travels to, among other places, Spain and the South of France, but also by architecture, poetry and music. Although he was linked to groups such as “The Progressives,” he saw himself primarily as a citizen of the world. From 1956 he exhibited internationally and carried out various commissions; his work is included in several public collections.
Dimensions with frame: 45 x 45 cm
Dimensions: 30 x 30 cm
Viewing is, of course, possible. In addition we have our own in-house picture-framing workshop, which is celebrating its 85th anniversary year. Furthermore we use restorers from the trade association: 'Restauratoren Nederland'. If you would like to take advantage of this, we would of course be happy to hear from you.
