| Title | Green with Red Assemblage Abstract Landscape |
| Description | This superb assemblage abstract landscape is by artist Peter Field. Created circa 1955 it is made of wood on board and hung as a portrait. The lower three quarters are vertical panels of wood the same height and painted green, grey and bare wood. Above them is a band of vivid red paint and a horizontal curved slither of bare wood. The board above this is white with a bare wood panel of almost an off half circle, suggestive of the sun. As a whole, the composition really works and the colours are very pleasing to the eye. This is a fantastic example of Field's assemblage work from this period. Unsigned. |
