About the Item

This stunning and sophisticated oil on canvas painting, entitled "Abstract Hilltop" was realized in the United States, circa 1960. It features an array of color blocks in tones of chocolate, pumpkin, pollen, and camel with a flash of olive green near the base of the composition and a grisaille band at the top. With its sophisticated palate and dynamic composition, this painting embodies the timeless aesthetic of the abstract expressionist aesthetic at its finest. While it appears as pure abstraction upon a cursory glance, its title- as well as the dove gray band at top adding a subtle sense of perspective to the piece- adds topographical connotations. Relaxing one's field of vision, the piece appears as a landscape in late fall, the foliage in the midst of changing into umbers and fiery tones. It is signed "Masson" on the front and has the artist's fish monogram on verso. Excellent condition. It comes presented in a custom walnut gallery frame.

By Tom Holland

Located in New York, NY

This sophisiticated oil on canvas work was realized by the esteemed Bay Area artist Tom Holland circa 1961, and boasts a prestigious provenance from the Stanford Museum of Art. Combining elements of futurism, Art Brut and Art Naif, with inspiration from his Bay Area contemporaries (such as Richard Diebenkorn), Holland has achieved both critical and commercial success over the last five plus decades of his career. He is currently represented by galleries in Dallas, Santa Fe and San Francisco and his prints are exhibited by Crown Point Press in San Francisco and Cirrus Editions in Los Angeles. This piece represents an exceptional example of his early practice. It offers a wealth of organic and geometric forms in coffee and chocolate brown, rendered in thick impasto, with cobalt blue peaking out from beneath. There are two orbital forms in the lower half of the canvas painted in a burnt umber hue. With its sophisticated palette and painterly aesthetic, this piece would be a winning acquisition for any avid collector of first-rate Mid Century Modern fine art...
