MCM Abstract Still Life Painting ~ 1954 Framed RF Phillips Signed Textured Painting
A striking 1954 mid-century modernist still life by RF Phillips, this framed canvas captures the bold expressionist spirit of post-war art.
~ The composition features a heavily textured lime-green pitcher set against a dramatically divided background of deep magenta, purples, blues, and blacks.
~ Bold palette-knife work and dripping paint effects create dynamic visual movement, while simplified structural lines echo the aesthetic of Bernard Buffet and his contemporaries.
~ The chrome metal frame complements the painting's modernist sensibility.
~ Measuring 25" tall by 21" wide, this signed work shows minor wear and paint chipping consistent with its age—imperfections that add authenticity and can be touched up if desired.
~ A genuine example of 1950s artistic innovation, ideal for collectors of mid-century modernism and abstract expressionism.
