Abstract Oval Shapes Columns Gouache Painting on 70 Year Old French Paper

Rare 1955 Abstract Oval Composition on Authentic Vintage French Paper

Immerse yourself in this sophisticated abstract masterpiece featuring vertical columns of oval and circular shapes in varying sizes. Burgundy red, golden yellow, warm orange, rich teal, navy blue, olive green, soft cream, and cool gray create a harmonious color palette. Some ovals are positioned horizontally, others vertically, creating a rhythmic pattern that draws the eye up and down the composition.

The vertical arrangement creates a sense of structure and order, while the varying oval sizes and orientations add playful spontaneity and visual interest. This piece evokes mid-century color theory experiments and the sophisticated simplicity of 1950s abstract art. The visible vintage paper texture with subtle aging on a warm cream background adds authenticity and character. Each oval is hand-painted with visible brushstrokes and subtle variations. This is not a reproduction—it's a genuine work printed using master techniques on irreplaceable vintage substrate from the 1950s.
