'Uncatalogued VI' Postwar European Abstractions by STM (circa 1950s-90s)

'Uncatalogued VI', oil on board, from a collection of Postwar European Abstractions by STM (circa 1950s–90s). This generously-sized painting is part of this gallery's new series from a compelling body of work emerging from the forgotten studios and ateliers of postwar Europe. We have sourced these from a long-established contact who resides in Northern Italy. This collection brings together vibrant, abstract compositions created by a loosely connected group of artists believed to have been active between the 1950s and 1990s, based on materials, techniques, and provenance. The paintings in this series reflect the enduring influence of early 20th-century modernism. Cubist structures, fractured perspectives, and bold colour fields hint at the legacy of Picasso, Braque, and Gris, while the raw energy and inventiveness speak to a generation determined to chart its own artistic path after the war. They are strikingly modern yet rich with historic resonance. These artworks were unearthed in recent years from long-forgotten caches and have been gently conserved. Their charm lies not only in their aesthetic power but in their mystery. Each work invites curiosity, conversation, and an engagement with the impact of modernism in all its forms. This artwork is in good overall condition having received a light conservation treatment using a process developed by an art restoration specialist. It is initialed 'STM' in the lower right hand and is elegantly framed with a linen slip. Please enjoy the many photos accompanying this listing. Upon request a video will be provided.
