'Composition in Colour, oil on board (circa 1960s), by Edgar Stoëbel (1909-2001). In his inimitable style, artist Stoëbel's abstract image with colour is a lively and creative modernist work. Subtle in tone and colour yet it retains an energetic intensity which speaks to Stoëbel's very distinctive style. At the same time it remains completely approachable and appealing. This is part of the post-war concrete abstract movement, or Constructive Art. The painting has been newly framed in a tray and is in fair-to-good overall condition. It has recently undergone a cleaning by an art restoration professional. There are some age-related minor blemishes in the paint and on the board. Signed: 'Stoëbel' in the lower left. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying the listing. Upon request a video may be provided.

About the Artist: The French artist Edgar Stoëbel (1909–2001), real name René Teboul Yechoua, was born in Algeria in 1909, and died in Paris in 2001. Stoëbel was the pseudonym he used as a painter. From a very young age, he was attracted to music and graphic art, and these two art forms were closely linked throughout his life. As a soldier in WWII, he drew scenes of daily life throughout the Italy campaign, and began producing imaginary drawings that prefigured his own style created in 1960, which he christened 'Figurasynthese'. "Figurasynthese is the image one makes of an object, not the object in the form in which it appears to us: it is subjectivised and represents an unreal form in every way. The relationship between the forms is what makes the Figurasynthese.” Stoëbel’s painting in the 1960s was part of the post-war concrete abstract movement, or concrete art, also known as Constructive Art. The artist's works are found in museums and personal collections throughout the world.
