Bram van Velde (1895–1981) – Untitled Abstract Composition – Color Lithograph (1960s)
This original color lithograph by Bram van Velde features a dynamic abstract composition in rich tones of cobalt blue, black, gray, and beige. The forms appear both architectural and fluid, suggesting internal psychological landscapes or fragmented corporeal impressions. The composition belongs to the artist’s later lithographic works and was likely created in collaboration with Maeght Éditeur, known for publishing van Velde's graphic work in the 1960s and 1970s.The reverse text delves into van Velde’s relationship with the body and color—how gouache and silence are merged into visceral, emotional spaces. The writing emphasizes the metaphysical and existential layers that inform his work, describing the lithograph as a moment of suspended vitality that fuses flesh, spirit, and language into a condensed visual gesture.Bram van Velde was a Dutch painter and printmaker associated with the École de Paris and Tachisme. Though often linked with Abstract Expressionism and existential themes, his work maintained a uniquely introspective character. His bold lithographs express profound psychological tensions through dynamic forms and emotionally charged palettes.Artist or Maker:Bram van Velde ;Dimensions:38 cm x 28 cmMedium:Color Lithograph on PaperDate: c. 1960sCondition Report:This work is in good condition overall.
