Grise was a prolific artist who was part of many of the major art movements of the mid-20th Century. He studied at the Chicago Art Institute and the Dallas Museum School of Art before coming to Southern California in the late 1940s, where he consistently exhibited his work. He was friends with several artists from the New York School, including Mark Tobey who was close to Jackson Pollock. The influences of his time are clear in his bright, fluid works.

This energetic composition is built from hundreds of layered gestural marks, drips, loops, splatters, and sweeping brushstrokes in white, yellow, green, red, purple, and black. The richly textured surface reveals new details from every viewing distance, creating an immersive, all-over composition with exceptional visual energy.

Signed lower right. It is not dated but looks to have been done around 1970. Sold unframed. Will ship boxed to preserve integrity.

Provenance and Certification: We bought the bulk of Hendrick Grise's estate in 2015 and are beginning to market his works and introduce him more broadly to the public. The majority of the works in our collection have never been offered for sale. We have some of the BEST works by Grise that you will ever find. Each piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Condition: Very good vintage condition overall. One small tear (approximately 1/2") along the lower edge that is minor and would likely be concealed when matted or framed. Light tanning is present in the upper left corner along with minor handling wear consistent with age. Please review all photos. Priced with condition in mind.
