Mid 20th Century Vintage Abstract Figure Painting in Oil on Paper. Signed by French Artist Renee Audebes, 1960
Renee Audebes (b.1921). A French Mid-Century Abstract painter widely exhibited in France and abroad, but most notably in Paris. Audebes studied under Jean Metzinger in Paris and was initially influenced by Surrealism. He later became a significant member of the Post-War Abstract movement in Paris. Post War Abstraction is described as hard-edged, geometric painting that challenged the highly subjective mode of painting at that time.
Of highlight is Audebes residency as a Professor at the Academie Frochot in Paris - host to a long line of well known artists. Audebe's work is a listed artist and frequently realized in auction houses today. This beautiful piece is a wonderful example of Mid-Century abstraction in France. The artwork is oil on paper with a rich surface and textural impasto technique. The reverse is signed and dated 1960 by the artist. There is another in-progress sketch/painting on the reverse which is equally as fascinating!
This piece is in very good shape showing only natural signs of age for a work of this time period. The artwork comes with a gallery style frame and 4" archival, acid-free mat and Acrylite Conservation glaze, filtering out 99% of harmful UV light. Frame style/color selection available upon checkout, with additional mat and frame options available upon request.
