A striking original oil on canvas by Romanian artist Horia Damian, titled Forme de San Francisco/Clair de Lune 1980. Damian’s art has been part of many exhibitions and collections around the world, including in the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; The Venice Biennale; the Grand Palais, Paris; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. This work is a finished study for a larger acrylic painting that Damian exhibited at Art Basel, providing an essential connection to the artist's larger-scale explorations of architectural themes. This minimalist and geometric abstraction presents a stark architectural form emerging from a dark foreground against a deep blue sky, evoking a sense of monumentality and spatial tension. The subtle play of light and shadow enhances the structure's sculptural quality, a hallmark of Damian's fascination with architectural and metaphysical space. Damian's compositions often draw inspiration from architectural forms, cosmic themes, and modernist abstraction, aligning with influences from his studies in Paris and association with key avant-garde figures. The piece is signed Damian and dated 1980 on the lower center right above the number 4 painted in red. On verso features two labels and inscriptions that provide the artwork's history: two labels from Andre Chenue et Fils Transports Internationaux, a Paris-based art handling and transportation company with the location Montparnasse, Damian and New York with identifiers. NEW-YORK is handwritten in black on the stretcher bar, referencing to its destination. A seminal work within Damian's oeuvre, this painting exemplifies his refined sense of form, perspective, and atmosphere, making it a compelling addition to the most selective collections of Postwar and contemporary geometric abstraction. Artist: Horia Damian (Romanian-French 1922–2012)Issued: 1980Dimensions: 52"L x 39.25"HCountry of Origin: Romanian / FranceCondition: Age related wear. There is a small horizontal slit on the upper left side of the painting that has not been restored purposefully to retain its full integrity.
