About the Item
Yellow and Green Composition is a striking and lyrical example of Natalia Dumitresco’s mature abstract style, rendered here on an intimate scale. IT is also framed in a very unique and custom frame for the work of art - includes 23 karat silvered leaf. Under Glass with archival matting. The work pulses with movement, built from an interlocking rhythm of vertical and diagonal elements in bold yellow and green, anchored by darker tones and softened by airy whites. The surface is animated by broken brushstrokes and layered color, characteristic of her dynamic approach to structure and space.
Though Dumitresco began her career in black and white, she gradually embraced color, often in measured tones of red, blue, gray, and white. This composition, with its confident palette and balanced construction, demonstrates her shift toward a more expressive visual language. The sense of vitality and motion in the painting reflects her enduring interest in the rhythms of nature, translated through an abstract lens.
Works from the early 1950s are considered the pinnacle of Dumitresco’s career, a period when she developed her most sophisticated and resonant compositions. Paintings from this time are the most sought after by collectors and institutions, particularly as the broader school of postwar European abstraction gains renewed scholarly and market attention. This movement, long undervalued, is now being reconsidered as a rich parallel to American Abstract Expressionism, offering a quieter, more measured yet equally powerful vision of abstraction.

Natalia Dumitresco
After studying at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest, she arrived in Paris in 1947 with her husband, Alexandre Istrati, also a painter. They were welcomed by their compatriot, the sculptor Constantin Brâncuși, who hosted them in a studio next to his, impasse Ronsin in the 15th arrondissement. Their friendship will last until the end and Brâncuși will appoint the couple as executors. Dumitresco received numerous awards, including the Kandinsky Prize in 1955. She shares a grave in the Montparnasse cemetery with Constantin Brâncuși and Alexandre Istrati.
