An evocative and richly colored 1958 original pastel by Don Bloom, signed and inscribed “Mexico 1958.”
This dynamic modernist rooster composition reflects the expressive energy of post-war artists working in Mexico during the mid-century period. The angular form, saturated earth palette, and gestural charcoal linework capture both folk symbolism and modern abstraction.
Executed in pastel and charcoal on paper, the piece retains its original mid-century gold frame with textured linen liner — presenting beautifully as a statement work in any curated interior.
Rooster imagery held cultural resonance within Mexican modernist circles, symbolizing pride, vitality, and renewal. Bloom’s interpretation balances structure and movement with confident draftsmanship.
Signed in pencil lower right. An authentic and decorative mid-century original.
