Another Great Auction
A mid-20th-century modernist oil painting on board depicting a reclining female nude. The subject is shown resting on a bed covered in white sheets, set against a background featuring simplified, graphic blocks of colour in green, red, and blue. The artist employs a modernist aesthetic, contrasting the soft tonal modelling of the figure with the flatter, more abstract treatment of the surroundings. The application of paint is varied, allowing the natural texture of the underlying board support to remain visible in several areas. The work is signed and dated to the lower left corner Robert B. Spencer 1956. The painting is housed in a simple, minimalist light-wood box frame under glass.
Dimensions: 19 x 15”
