Abstract Vertical Stripe Dots Gouache Painting on 70 Year Old French Paper

Rare 1955 Abstract Vertical Stripe Composition on Authentic Vintage French Paper

Immerse yourself in this captivating abstract masterpiece featuring vertical columns of hand-painted circular dots in a rich, sophisticated color palette. Deep teals, navy blues, golden yellows, burnt oranges, coral reds, soft grays, and forest greens create rhythmic vertical stripes across the composition. Each dot is rendered with subtle overlapping and transparency effects, creating remarkable depth and visual intrigue as colors blend and interact.

The vertical arrangement creates a sense of upward movement and energy, while the overlapping dots add layers of complexity that reward close viewing. Some dots appear solid and opaque, while others reveal delicate transparency where colors merge and create new hues. Every brushstroke reveals the artist's hand through visible texture and subtle imperfections, while the authentic 70-year-old French paper lends a warm, aged patina that enhances the vibrant pigments. This is not a reproduction—it's a genuine work printed using master techniques on irreplaceable vintage substrate from the 1950s.
