Hartley, featuring a mysterious male portrait surrounded by five dark, raven-like birds against a vibrant golden-yellow background.
This compelling composition combines bold geometric forms with energetic crosshatched strokes and a sophisticated palette of charcoal black, electric green, golden yellow, burgundy, and blue-gray.
At the center, a contemplative male figure emerges from a vivid green rectangular field, creating a dramatic contrast with the surrounding birds. The artwork’s layered textures, expressive linework, and unusual subject matter give it a distinctive modernist character.
Beautifully presented with a wide white mat and sleek white frame, this substantial work makes an exceptional statement in contemporary, mid-century modern, eclectic, or collector-focused interiors. Signed by the artist. See less
