This striking abstract drawing, rendered in colored pencil on paper, captures André van der Vossen’s mid-century exploration of dynamic form and vibrant color. Intersecting strokes of red, black, and blue create a layered composition brimming with movement and depth. Signed with Van der Vossen’s characteristic monogram in pencil on the lower right, the piece exemplifies his ability to balance geometric precision with expressive energy.A leading figure in Dutch modernism, Van der Vossen often merged abstraction with bold color, drawing connections to De Stijl’s structured aesthetics and the emotive spontaneity of Abstract Expressionism. Echoing the influence of Karel Appel and Kandinsky, the work bridges structural clarity with a free-flowing gestural approach.This unique drawing is a quintessential example of post-war artistic innovation, combining historical resonance with a timeless visual appeal. It offers a glimpse into Van der Vossen’s creative ethos, making it an invaluable addition to modern art collections.
