Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Provenance:
Private Collection, Ontario
Notes:
Although Mashel Teitelbaum often took offense when his work did not receive immediate acceptance, those who came to know him - his peers, art dealers and patrons - were convinced of his prodigious talent. The list of solo exhibitions in private and public galleries between 1948 and 1983 reflects the ongoing acceptance of his original and challenging work. This fine example of his early abstract painting reflects his admiration for the vigorous figurative expressionism of the artists he studied with and emulated in the 1950s, such as Max Beckmann and Clyfford Still.
