Large abstract gouache. A beautiful and uniquely documented work by the North Holland artist Cornelis (Kees) Jansen (1922-1984).
Jansen was part of the Bergen Artists' Centre (KCB), and this specific work shows his strong development towards abstract expressionism in the late 1970s.
This is a layered gouache on paper with the intriguing title "Legend of Venus," dated 1978. Clear, graphic symbols are incorporated into the composition. The work is constructed within a subdued, earthy palette of grey, blue-green, ochre, and subtle red accents. Unique provenance and documentation: The reverse of the work is fully documented in handwriting by the artist himself and offers irrefutable proof of authenticity. It is likely that the artist also handled the framing himself at the time, as it is definitely original.
The wooden frame is hand-painted in grey and has some splintering in one spot at the bottom, see photos. The gouache and passe-partout are in impeccable condition. The piece is ready to hang on the wall.
Note: The colors appear more beautiful in reality than captured in the photos.
