Large Abstract Oil Composition – Mid-20th Century - Signed Lita

Description
This striking large mid-century abstract composition is a masterful exploration of color, form, and rhythm. The artist constructs the surface through interlocking geometric planes in ochre, crimson, moss green, pale blue, and cream, creating a visual patchwork that evokes both landscape and architecture. The use of layered impasto and visible brushstrokes lends the work a rich, tactile quality, while the careful balance of warm and cool tones generates a sense of movement and harmony. The composition’s rhythm and structure align it with the aesthetic principles of European geometric abstraction, yet it retains a human warmth and painterly spontaneity that distinguish it from purely formal modernism. The result is a vibrant and sophisticated work that merges order with emotion, making it an outstanding piece of mid-century modern art suitable for elegant, contemporary environments.
