AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This abstract oil painting by Ernst van Leyden (1892–1969) dates from 1958.
Against a predominantly blue-gray background, transparent and opaque geometric planes are placed in broken white, light blue, and pale yellow. Over them run bold dark gray brushstrokes and finer linear contours. The diagonal and curved bands cross at the center, giving the otherwise restrained composition a pronounced rhythm and tension. Due to the thin layers of paint and local transparency, the structure of the canvas remains visible.
Signed and dated lower left: Leyden 58. On the reverse are various handwritten inscriptions. Dimensions of the work: 118 × 92 cm. Including frame: 137 × 110 cm.
Artist biography
Ernst van Leyden (Rotterdam, 1892–1969) was a Dutch painter, graphic artist, and sculptor with a pronounced international career. He studied art in Rotterdam, Berlin, London and Brussels, among others, and throughout his life worked from several European and American cities. His early oeuvre was predominantly figurative and closely aligned with expressionism; from the late 1940s he increasingly developed in an abstract direction. In the 1950s and 1960s he also experimented with collage and various materials. Van Leyden's work is represented in international museum collections. The Museum of Modern Art in New York owns several works by him; the National Gallery of Art in Washington and the Buffalo AKG Art Museum also hold works by Van Leyden in their collections.
