AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This large-format abstract oil painting by Ernst van Leyden (1892–1969) is signed and dated in the lower left corner: Leyden 59. The composition is dominated by an intense red‑orange field, in which angular and curved forms in black, brown, gray-blue, pink and white are laid over one another. Small accents in bright yellow and yellow-green break through the warm palette. Broad brushstrokes, transparent overpaintings and sharply bounded color fields alternate, creating a layered and dynamic image structure.
On the reverse side are, among other inscriptions, Ernst van Leyden, September 1959, Venezia and Composition in red. Dimensions of the work: 153 × 90 cm. Including frame: 165 × 101 cm. The frame shows some damage.
Artist biography
Ernst van Leyden (Rotterdam, 1892–1969) was a Dutch painter, graphic artist and sculptor with a strongly international career. He studied at art schools in Rotterdam, Berlin, London and Brussels. His early work was close to Expressionism; in 1948 his first abstract work emerged. From the 1950s he developed an abstract visual language and also worked with collage and a variety of materials. Van Leyden lived and worked at different locations across Europe and the United States during his career. His work is found in several international museum collections. The Whitney Museum of American Art lists him in its artist collection, while the National Gallery of Art in Washington owns nineteen works by him. In 1999 Kunsthal Rotterdam dedicated an exhibition to Ernst and Karin van Leyden.
