Abstract Mountain Landscape, 1961 Oil on Board Painting
Description
Expressive mid-20th-century landscape painting depicting a mountainous terrain with a river or snow-covered foreground, rendered in vigorous, textured brushwork and a restrained yet luminous palette of ochres, blues, greens, and mauves. The composition emphasizes mass and movement through layered color planes and dynamic diagonal forms, characteristic of post-war European landscape painting.
The reverse bears a handwritten inscription reading “par Jacque Va…” along with a date 1961, suggesting French authorship. The painting is presented in an ornate, gilt and molded frame.
