An original Havé painting from 1970, beautifully presented in a crisp black frame that allows the warm, sunset-toned palette and energetic cityscape strokes to stand out with striking clarity.
The artwork captures a bustling urban scene rendered in Havé’s characteristic style: elongated verticals, abstract architectural forms, and fine, deliberate linework that creates the illusion of motion and depth. Soft blue blocks, ochre tones, and dark structural accents come together to suggest a futuristic skyline alive with figures in motion, giving the piece a compelling mid-century modern feel.
The black frame adds a bold contemporary edge, while the textured backing board provides visual depth and contrast. A dynamic and atmospheric piece that instantly anchors any wall, ideal for lovers of modernist cityscapes, warm minimalist interiors, or collectors of mid-century European art.
Havé’s pieces were widely collected during the mid-century period, appreciated for their balance of abstraction and recognisable urban rhythm. His paintings often appeared in European and American interiors of the era, aligning with the global appetite for modern, futurist-leaning art during the 1960s and early 1970s.
Condition:
There is a small area of wear on the lower left corner of the black backing board, subtle and consistent with age, but the artwork itself is in excellent vintage condition.
