Description
Large mid-century modern abstract floral oil painting on canvas signed “Schafer” lower right. The composition presents a dense vertical arrangement of abstracted plant forms executed in energetic drip and splatter technique over a warm brown and violet ground, with layered applications of yellow, cream, green, black, and earth tones creating a highly textured surface. The expressive paint handling and gestural application reflect strong influence from mid-20th century abstract expressionism and modern decorative painting. Housed in an ornate molded gilt frame with cream liner. Canvas measures approximately 30 x 24 inches with overall framed dimensions approximately 37 x 31 inches. A striking large-scale modern abstract painting with bold color and dramatic texture.
