Colour lithograph on Arches wove paper. Monogrammed in brush and annotated 'EA' in graphite. From the edition of 100 + EA. Published by Jacques Putman. Printed by Pierre Badey. Reference: Mason Putman 166. Bram Van Velde’s MP 166 (1975) is a color lithograph on Arches wove paper that reflects his mature abstract language, where form dissolves into expressive gesture. Dominated by cool blue tones and deep blacks, the composition suggests a fragmented, almost architectural structure intersected by bold, sweeping lines. The layered brushwork and translucent passages create a sense of depth and instability, evoking both interior space and emotional tension. Published by Jacques Putman and printed by Pierre Badey, this work exemplifies Van Velde’s post-war exploration of abstraction as a means of conveying psychological presence rather than concrete representation.

What is lyrical abstraction ?
Lyrical abstraction is a descriptive term characterizing a type of abstract painting closely related to Abstract Expressionism, in use from the 1940s to the present. The term can also describe two distinct but related trends in post-World War II modernist painting. This art movement originated in Paris, France, after the war, emphasizing personal expression, spontaneity, and the emotional use of color and form.
