Abstraction, an oil on canvas abstract work by Edgar Stoëbel (1909–2001) from Poland, dating to 1950–1960, 35 × 24 cm, signed.
Description from the seller
We present to you this oil on canvas, an abstract composition, by the artist Edgar Stoëbel (1909–2001)
The composition, all in a palette of deep greens and black, is built of large descending diagonal bands, the material worked in layered glazes creating an effect of patina almost mineral, close to a rock.
Artist: Edgar Stoëbel (1909–2001)
Title: Abstraction
Technique: Oil on canvas
Format: 35 x 24 cm
Good condition
Edgar Stoëbel, born René Teboul Yechoua, was born in 1909 in Algeria and died in 2001 in Paris. Drawn from an early age to music and graphic art, two disciplines that will remain closely linked throughout his life, he drew scenes of daily life during the Italian campaign in World War II, where the beginnings of his personal style were born. In 1960, he theorized and named this style "Figurasynthèse," which he defined as the image one forms of an object rather than the object as it appears to us, a subjective and unreal form where only the relationship between shapes makes sense. His painting of the 1960s is part of the post-war concrete abstraction movement, also called constructive art. His works are today conserved in museums and private collections around the world.
