AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This large-format abstract oil painting by Ernst van Leyden (1892–1969) is signed and dated bottom left, Leyden 59. The composition is dominated by a deep red-orange field, in which angular and curved shapes in black, brown, bluish gray, pink, and white are layered over one another. Small accents in bright yellow and chartreuse punctuate the warm palette. Wide brushstrokes, translucent overpaintings, and sharply bounded color fields alternate, creating a layered and dynamic image structure.
On the back are, among other things, the inscriptions Ernst van Leyden, September 1959, Venezia, and Composition en rouge. Work dimensions: 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 art 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 places across Europe and the United States throughout his career. His work is held 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.
