Eugène Brands - Mysterious

This work is in very good condition and professionally framed.
In the work of the Dutch painter Eugène Brands (one of the original CoBrA members), the letter 'M' is central as the symbol for the mystery of the universe.
From the 1970s, when Brands retreated into the silence of the Veluwe, he became deeply fascinated by the cosmos and the invisible dimensions of our existence.
The letter 'M' appears frequently in his lyrical-abstract paintings, gouaches, and collages during this period.
The meaning behind the 'M' For Brands, the 'M' was a layered symbol that referred to the great, inexplicable elements of the universe.
Mystery: The unknown and inexplicable that cannot be immediately understood.
For him, it was not a riddle that needed to be solved, but rather something that needed to be celebrated.
Magic: The enchantment of the cosmos and nature.
Matter: The physical building blocks of the world and the universe.
Milky Way: Our place in infinite space.
A well-known example of a specific artwork in which he developed this theme is his painting M: Mystery from 1975.
His cosmic quest and fascination with the unknown were recently the central focus of the exhibition Mysterious Universe at the Museum van Bommel van Dam.
