- Lot Description
Leopold Plomteux (Belgian, 1920-2008). Abstract gouache and watercolor painting on paper, 1965. Signed and dated at lower right. A striking abstract painting by Belgian modernist Leopold Plomteux. Plomteux transitioned from figuration to non-objective abstraction in the late 1940s. His paintings are oftentimes geometric or lyrical in nature, as we see in this example. A visual symphony of royal blue, sunflower yellow, scarlet, lavender, black, and white delineated with bold drips, washes, and brushstrokes, infuses this captivating composition with palpable life and energy. An outstanding example of Leopold Plomteux's style and technique mounted in a custom frame. Size: 13.875" L x 20.9" W (35.2 cm x 53.1 cm) Size (frame): 17.875" L x 25" W (45.4 cm x 63.5 cm)
About the artist: Born in the region of Liege, Leopold Plomteux trained at the Institut Saint-Luc and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Liege, where he studied under Auguste Mambour. Plomteux was a founding member of the Realite Cobra group (1948/49 to 1951) and also founded Art Abstrait in 1952. Since the artist passed away in 2008 the record price for his work at auction is $21,494 for "Composition" sold at Cornette de Saint Cyr Paris in 2019. (MutualArt)
