Abstract Diagonal Stripes Gouache Painting on 70 Year Old French Paper

Rare 1955 Abstract Diagonal Composition on Authentic Vintage French Paper

Immerse yourself in this dynamic abstract masterpiece featuring bold diagonal bands that radiate with energy and movement. Wide and narrow stripes in deep red, soft peach, golden yellow, rich teal, navy blue, regal purple, and burgundy create a sophisticated color harmony that draws the eye across the composition. Some stripes are bold and confident, while others are delicate and refined, creating visual rhythm and balance.

The diagonal orientation adds drama and dynamism, evoking mid-century optimism and forward momentum. Visible brushstrokes and subtle color gradients within each stripe reveal the artist's hand and add painterly depth. The visible vintage paper texture with subtle aging on a warm cream background adds authenticity and character.
