Item information
Description
This abstract painting, signed by “Baards”, is attributed to a Dutch artist active during the 1960s–1970s. Executed in oil on canvas, the work presents a vivid and loosely structured composition dominated by a central explosion of color.
The painting is characterized by blended pigment, soft transitions, and smudged passages in which color appears to be wiped or diffused across the surface. The composition lacks defined forms, instead relying on intuitive gesture and chromatic interaction. The overall effect resembles a color constellation or chromatic burst, with energy concentrated toward the center of the canvas.
Stylistically, the work aligns with a broad category of decorative abstraction common in the Netherlands during the post-war decades, when many studio painters experimented with expressive color fields and informal techniques without pursuing strict compositional or conceptual frameworks.
While visually energetic, the painting does not demonstrate a
distinctive personal style or advanced technical refinement. It
should therefore be regarded as a modest example of
mid-20th-century Dutch abstract painting, representative of its
period rather than of individual artistic significance.
