Pierre Montheillet. Lyrical Abstract Expressionism. Circa late 1940s. Oil on stretched canvas. Signed in lower left corner 
Lyrical Abstract Expressionism was an art movement born in France in 1947 post WWII. Montheillet, as a leading French artist of the movement, has pieces presented in both the Museum of Modern Art in Paris and the Musée des Beaux Arts in Lyon, France. His work is powerful and his use of paint was luscious. 
This painting is fierce, beautiful, filled with emotion founded in hope and expression. Adjacent complementary colors make this bold and an incredible statement piece to adorn any wall in your home.
