About the Item
This painting depicts a man seated in a brightly striped yellow deck chair, deeply engrossed in a book.
The painting, employs a powerful palette dominated by intense primaries, vibrant yellows, electric blues, and saturated pinks, that clash with the dark, moody red and blue used to define the face. This use of unnatural color, reminiscent of artists from the Cobra Group or the expressive European figurative movement, gives the sitter an emotional intensity and psychological depth.
The confident, gestural brushstrokes and thick impasto texture emphasize the raw energy and immediate feeling of the scene, elevating a simple domestic moment into a dynamic study of color and form.
This painting is a superb example of mid-century European modernism that prioritizes emotional expression over strict realism. It is signed in the lower right corner, "Bastide."
