Untitled 1955

This 1955 oil painting by Charles Lapicque, "Untitled," showcases his signature style of simplified shapes and vivid colors. The artist, born in 1898 and active in the early 20th century, is known for his abstract interpretations of landscapes and cityscapes. The scene, likely Venice, is reduced to essential elements, with a prominent bell tower standing tall over a vibrant cityscape reflected in the turquoise water. Lapicque's bold strokes and vibrant palette create a sense of energy and movement, capturing the essence of the city rather than its specific details. This work is a classic example of Lapicque's unique artistic vision.
