SALOMON ETHE Untitled.
Oil on canvas, 1961. 690x840 mm; 27 1/8x33 1/8 inches. Signed and dated in oil, lower right recto.
Provenance: Private collection, New Jersey.
A career economist, Ethe (born 1924) collected artworks by Fernand Léger, Kurt Schwitters, Paul Klee, Joseph Cornell, and leading Post-Impressionist artists, occasionally lending to The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Ethe started to create his own art in the 1960s, drawing inspiration from his own collection—non-representational forms with the gestural qualities of Léger paired with the experimental color theories and vibrations of Piet Mondrian and Kasimir Malevich.
