Pieter Defesche (1921–1998), Zonder titel, a limited edition abstract silkscreen from 1991, 67 × 82 cm framed, from the Netherlands, hand-signed, edition E.A., sold by Galerie.
Description from the seller
This colorful graphic work immediately catches the eye with its strong use of bright blue, green, yellow, orange and purple. In the center a human figure can be recognized, built from loose, powerful lines and simplified forms. The figure seems almost to merge with the large fields of color around it, thereby linking figuration and abstraction. The spontaneous lines and vivid color contrasts give the work a lot of energy and movement. At the same time, the large blue background and the green plane in the foreground provide a clear structure and coherence in the composition.
Pieter Defesche (1921–1998) was a Dutch painter and graphic artist from Maastricht. He studied at the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam and in 1949 received the prestigious Prix de Rome for painting. Defesche developed an expressive and colorful style in which recognizable subjects were increasingly simplified into shapes, lines and color fields. Landscapes and human figures formed important sources of inspiration in his oeuvre. His work therefore often lies at the boundary between figurative art and abstraction, with color and a free, lively way of working at the center.
Dimensions: 48 x 64 cm
Dimensions with frame: 67 x 82 cm
