Bold geometric shapes intersect with organic white forms resembling stylized figures, all set against a radiant background of yellow, red, green, and purple. The artist’s hand-drawn grid and sketch marks remain visible beneath the paint, offering a rare glimpse into Stein’s creative process.

Signed “Helen Stein” in the lower right corner and marked with the number “108,” the piece is professionally stretched and presented in its original wood frame, which shows some corner damage. Due to its age and wear, replacing the frame is recommended to better preserve and present the artwork.

This painting is part of a rare, single-source collection of 20 works by Helen Stein, all acquired together. Though unsigned documentation is not available, all the paintings in this grouping bear matching construction and provenance details, with labels on the stretcher bars indicating they originated in New York—where Stein resided and worked.

Despite limited biographical data available, Helen Stein (1896–1964) is noted to have had connections to Russia, New York, and Massachusetts, and her work exemplifies the experimental and expressive spirit of mid-century American art.

This piece makes a powerful statement in any modern or eclectic space and is ideal for collectors of bold vintage abstraction.
