Mid-Century Modern Abstract Serigraph

This is an original, untitled abstract artwork featuring a bold biomorphic composition. The piece utilizes a high-contrast palette consisting of a solid lavender-purple foreground set against a flat, pale ochre-yellow background. The composition is split into three main vertical sections of stylized, organic figures reminiscent of the Surrealist or CoBrA movements. The central figure features a T-shaped head and a triangular torso, while the flanking figures possess bird-like or reptilian facial profiles. The artwork appears to be a screen print (serigraph) or possibly a gouache painting on paper, characterized by flat color application and crisp, clean edges. There is a faint inscription or signature in the lower right quadrant that is difficult to decipher but suggests a specific dating or artist identification (possibly '1949' or similar). The paper shows minor signs of age-related yellowing and slight corner curling, but overall the pigment remains vibrant without visible foxing. The style indicates a mid-20th-century origin, likely created between 1940 and 1960, showcasing an influence from artists like Joan Miró or Paul Klee in its use of playful, primitive symbolism. The craftsmanship is high, with a balanced use of negative space that defines the interior shapes of the purple forms.
