Luis Feito (1929–2021) Composition, circa 1958; oil on paper, signed lower right and mounted on panel; 49.5 x 67 cm; Provenance: > Private collection, Seattle (United States) > Private collection, Paris This oil painting belongs to the artist’s most iconic and sought-after period, marked by his move to Paris and the founding in Spain of the avant-garde group El Paso. In the late 1950s, Feito deliberately restricted his palette to dark tones, introducing here flashes of incandescent red that pierce the darkness of the background. The composition is distinguished by a dramatic juxtaposition between textured, almost geological impasto and areas of great fluidity where the paint seems to melt under the effect of an internal light. This powerful work attests to the artist’s major contribution to Informal Art and European Abstract Expressionism, emphasizing pure gesture and the dramatic intensity of color.
