Mid-Century Modernist Abstract Portrait by Delso

This is a mixed media work on paper or light cardstock, framed behind glass. It is a modernist, cubist-influenced abstract portrait of a female figure, executed in a style reminiscent of Spanish 20th-century avant-garde artists. The composition features bold, expressive outlines in blue and black, with accents of red, yellow, and green. The figure is characterized by exaggerated eyelashes, stylized floral motifs used as jewelry or facial adornments, and a long, slender neck featuring cross-hatched shading. The background is a flat, off-white tone showing significant signs of age, including foxing (brown spots), localized staining, and moisture damage in the lower-left corner near the word 'BARCELONA'. The artwork is signed 'Delso' and dated '1970' in the lower right, with the location 'BARCELONA' inscribed in the lower left. The piece is housed in a contemporary mid-century frame featuring a textured silver/grey finish with a thin gold-toned inner lip. The frame shows some minor surface scuffing but remains structurally sound. The overall craftsmanship reflects the vibrant, expressive art movement of Catalonia during the late 20th century, blending surrealist and pop-art elements.
