Pieter Defesche (1921-1998)
Landscape with Red Mountain
1978 | gouache | 110 × 130 cm
Deceptively simple at first glance, this painting by Pieter Defesche shows the effort it takes to communicate in abstract terms.
Although Defesche’s work always revolved around figures and objects taken from real life, his style became progressively more abstract. In this painting, each brushstroke – from an orange blotch and dash to the huge swathe of red – is necessary to convey his message.
