Object description :

""the Artist And His World” – Mid-century Cubist Oil Painting"

Immerse yourself in this evocative mid-century oil on canvas titled “L’artista i el seu món (2)” — Catalan for "The Artist and His World (2)." This geometric Cubist-inspired portrait presents a solemn male figure with pipe and paintbrushes, seemingly in the midst of creative contemplation. Tones of steel blue, olive, ochre, and deep charcoal are layered in angular planes and rhythmic brushstrokes.

On the reverse, the artist has inscribed the title by hand in pencil along with a loose ink sketch, offering a rare and intimate look into the creative process. The painting is signed, but the signature is currently unverified — the artist is yet to be identified or discovered, adding to the intrigue and potential of this collectible work.
