Charles Kiffer (1902–1992)
Abstract composition.
Oil on board. 1960s.
A raw and gestural abstract work featuring a dark central form against a muted pink-red ground. The paint is applied thickly with tactile palette-knife texture, giving the surface a physical and expressive presence. The tension between the black mass and the surrounding color creates a mysterious and emotionally charged atmosphere.
