| Description | This fantastic British Abstract oil painting is by artist Peter Field. It was painted circa 1955 on canvas and there is an equally good portrait of a man verso. The composition has layers of green and grey shapes against a pale yellow background on the left hand side. The background is grey on the right with a vivid turquoise band far right. It is really pleasing to the eye and the bold brushwork and heavy impasto throughout are superb. This is a fine example of Field's abstract oil painting from this period. Unsigned. |
