The French artist Victor Laks (1924-2011), after a long period of teaching in New York, and his personal exhibitions in the most important New York galleries, returned to France in 1955 and dedicated himself to abstract painting. He was close to Soulages, Brancusi, Seund Ja Rhee.
The artistic work of Victor Laks moves in a painting in shades of gray, brown and sometimes blue, where a world is born in networks of black lines that intertwine endlessly.
In this painting the great art of Laks emerges when at the end of the 60s color and its washes return to the canvases, the brushstrokes in their general movement appear as vegetal proliferations up to occupying almost the entire space of the surface.
It is an oil on a large canvas, measuring 65x90 cm, with the frame 80x105 cm.
It is signed and dated 1970 in the lower right corner.
Careful packaging is guaranteed which will take into account the large dimensions and fast shipping, collection by hand is appreciated, the work is located in Milan. 67204369
