Assaba 1983

"Assaba" (1983) is an abstract painting by French artist Maurice Esteve (1904-2001), showcasing his signature use of vibrant colors and bold geometric forms. This work exemplifies Esteve's late style, characterized by a simplified approach to abstract composition, utilizing primary and secondary colors to create a dynamic interplay of shapes and textures. The painting's title, "Assaba," likely evokes a sense of place or landscape, although the composition remains purely abstract, allowing viewers to interpret the shapes and colors freely. This work is a testament to Esteve's ability to express visual energy and emotional depth through the abstract language of color and form.
