About the Item
A mid-century modern abstract oil on canvas titled "Cool Splash" by Robert Lawson, circa 1950. Signed lower right. From a private collection. Dimensions: 40"h x 40"w x 1.5"d (framed). In very good condition.
"Cool Splash" showcases the artist’s bold use of gesture, color, and movement. Executed in oil on canvas, the work combines dynamic sweeps of black, brown, and gray with bursts of golden yellow and ochre, creating a sense of energy and contrast. Lawson’s painterly approach evokes both spontaneity and control, resulting in a composition that feels atmospheric yet grounded. This painting embodies Lawson’s signature exploration of abstraction and modern expression.
Robert Lawson (1891–1957) was a New York–born painter whose career spanned multiple styles, with a strong presence in mid-century modern abstraction. Trained at the New York School of Fine Art, he also served in the camouflage section of the 40th Engineers during World War I, working alongside noted etcher Kerr Eby. Lawson was an active member of the Westport, Connecticut art colony, and his works reflect both technical rigor and a spirit of experimentation. His legacy is recognized through his contribution to American modernism and his role within significant artist communities of his era.
