Mid-Century Abstract Mixed Media Work on Paper (Dated 1965)

This item is an original abstract composition, likely a lithograph or a mixed media painting on paper, dated 1965 based on the signature and date visible in the lower right corner. The artwork features a vibrant, warm color palette dominated by terracotta, burnt orange, and sienna, contrasted with speckled accents of white, blue, and ochre. The construction utilizes a layered, gestural technique reminiscent of the Abstract Expressionist movement, incorporating textured stippling and bold black calligraphic line-work that suggests abstracted forms or vessels. The piece is housed under glass within a thin, natural wood-tone frame and professionally matted with a wide white border. Physically, the artwork appears to be a medium-format horizontal composition. Notable features include the dense layering of pigments, creating a sense of depth and movement across the surface. Regarding condition, the paper appears flat without visible buckling, though there is a slight yellowish tonality that may indicate age-related oxidation or mat burn. The frame shows minimal surface wear, and the matting remains clean and unblemished. The signature in the bottom right is stylized and requires further direct inspection for definitive attribution, though the '65' date is clear, positioning the work in the high Mid-Century Modern era.
