Mogens Balle Abstract Composition Lithograph, 1979

This item is an original color lithograph by the acclaimed Danish artist Mogens Balle, dated to 1979. Created during his mature period, the work exemplifies the CoBrA movement's influence through its spontaneous, gestural, and biomorphic abstraction. The piece features a vibrant palette of mustard yellow, deep teal, and stark black, used to create fluid, organic shapes that suggest mythical figures or dreamlike creatures. The paper shows a slight natural aging consistent with its mid-to-late 20th-century origins. It is housed in a contemporary thin-profile polished chrome or silver-toned metal frame with a clean white mat board. The craftsmanship reflects Balle's signature style of blending figurative elements with chaotic abstract forms. Notable markings include a hand-signed signature and date by the artist in the lower right-hand margin. The condition appears stable with no visible foxing, tearing, or significant fading of the pigments, though minor surface wear is visible on the external metal frame. Such works are highly regarded for their contribution to Scandinavian modernism and the post-war European avant-garde aesthetic.
