Bram van Velde – Abstract Composition – Original signed lithograph

The master of lyrical abstraction

This original lithograph testifies to Bram Van Velde's mastery of lyrical abstraction. The work is characterized by fluid forms and a vibrant color palette (blood red, azure blue, and ochre), typical of the artist's mature period. The interplay of transparency and the layering of inks reveal the full sensitivity of this major figure's work on paper during the second half of the 20th century.
