"A New Idea" in Blue - Figural Abstract Composition in Acrylic on Paper
A bold abstract painting by California-based artist, Ricardo de Silva (American/Brazil, 20th C). Large blue and red brushstrokes form the structure of this composition, with a seated figure in the misty background. What appears to be a cobalt blue vessel expelling "Ideas" or from the scroll, the figure is holding.
Signed and dated in the lower center: R. de Silva 86
Paper size: 30"H x 22.25"W
