About the Item

'Abstract of Lines and Colours', oil on panel (circa 1960s), German School, signed, 'X. Kruger'. This artwork is a clear homage to Piet Mondrian (1872-1944). Recognised for the purity of his abstractions, Mondrian radically simplified the elements of his paintings to reflect his perception of the spiritual order underlying the visible world. He progressively simplified and reduced elements in his paintings until they only contained straight lines and pure, flat, primary colours (Ref: Susie Hodge - The Short Story of Art). This engaging work follows those principles resulting in an original work inspired by the genius, Mondrian. The artwork is in overall good condition in a new frame with elegant, French-style linen slip. It was reconditioned using a process developed by an art restoration professional. With that in mind however, there is some slight fading of colour and minor blemishing commensurate with age. In this case it simply adds character to the artwork. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request a video of the piece may be provided. Signed: 'X. Kruger' in the lower left hand. About this Artwork: Our gallery has access to a cache of paintings from the 1940s to the 1980s attributed to an art collective whose traces start with Germany. Berlin to start, but also Dresden, along the Saale, Weimar, Brera in Milan and Brussels. From the post-war period and onwards, they hosted young people who experimented with different painting techniques with exceptionally creative results. Over the years, dedicated art-seekers managed to unearth a treasure trove of these works from forgotten repositories. Once examined, the paintings were presented first to the Italian art market and then beyond, to art lovers in Europe and the United States. Quietly, but surely, word of mouth scattered the news of the existence of these found artworks: cubist, expressionist, futurist and avant-garde. Trying to label these pieces doesn’t do them justice truly, but to call them studies, sketches, or simply, creations, would be more accurate. It is interesting to note the artworks were very often unsigned, but often as not, initialled or monogrammed. Using known masterpieces as reference, their mentors suggested a particular style with which to experiment. Regrettably, this makes it impossible to pinpoint who amongst these bright creatives ‘made it’ in the world of art. But it really doesn’t matter. Each piece we've selected is extraordinary and therein lies the interest in these works. Notwithstanding that, several galleries have acquired and are now selling their works. This clearly speaks to the widespread assessment of the quality and interest of the art. Today, these creations hang on the walls of art lovers in London, Paris, New York, Hong Kong, Miami and Los Angeles. Galleries scramble to acquire the works having recognised the outstanding potential in the international art markets for these pieces with such fascinating origins.

Abstract Composition, Oil on Board, Circa 1960s, Framed, Signed

By Edgar Stoëbel

Located in London, GB

'Abstract Composition', oil on board (circa 1960s), by Edgar Stoëbel (1909-2001). In his very original style, artist Stoëbel's abstract image seems to form a human torso with the lively colours of a modernist work. The image has a pop art quality to it and was created just as that movement was emerging. Pop art challenged traditional painting by embracing colourful images from advertising, popular culture, comic books and mundane objects from everyday life. This artwork has a powerful intensity of tone and colour having somewhat faded with time. It speaks to Stoëbel's very distinctive style which remains completely approachable and appealing. In fact, this is not pop art. This is part of the post-war concrete abstract movement, or Constructive Art...

'Composition on Blue Background', oil on board (circa 1960s), by Edgar Stoëbel (1909-2001).
