Alexander Povlovic Sachal, United States. Material still life with symbolic composition. Oil on canvas dated 1963. Still life composition with expressionist language and abstract tendencies, structured using geometric shapes and organic signs that evoke floral elements and a chalice on an architectural support. The material treatment of the oil paint with dense impasto and a palette knife is noteworthy, typical of Spanish painting of the 1960s influenced by informalism. A sober palette dominated by blacks, ochres, and earth tones, with red accents that articulate the composition. This work is representative of the modern reinterpretation of the still life genre during the period of post-war artistic renewal. Oil on canvas, measuring 105 x 81 cm. Sold unframed. Signed on the painting and on the reverse, Sachal, Fuengirola 1963. It has been restored in the past; please see the photograph of the reverse.
