Catalogue raisonné: Rainer/Puttmann, Van Velde Lithographies, Paris 1974, no. 30.
Bram van Velde (1895–1981) , a Dutch painter from the École de Paris, developed a highly personal abstract visual language characterized by expressive brushstrokes and a reduced yet intense color palette. His imagery addresses existential struggle and spiritual introspection—an approach that also deeply impressed writers such as Samuel Beckett.
This signed lithograph is an outstanding example of van Velde's emotional intensity and artistic originality—a valuable collector's item for lovers of European post-war abstraction and 20th-century modern graphic art.
