Signed CoBrA Watercolour Composition by Mogens Balle, Denmark, Mid-20th Century

€1,010

Mogens Balle (1921-1988)

Expressive and vividly coloured watercolour by the Danish artist Mogens Balle, one of the prominent figures associated with the CoBrA movement and the post-war Scandinavian avant-garde.

Executed in Balle’s characteristic spontaneous and imaginative style, the composition combines abstract forms with suggestive figurative elements.
Two face-like shapes emerge from a dynamic interplay of bold brushwork and layered colour, creating a work that feels both energetic and poetic.
Strong reds, blacks, whites and blues dominate the composition, lending the piece a striking visual presence.

The work is signed lower right and presented behind glass with a mount in a silver-patinated wooden frame. A fine example of Balle’s distinctive visual language, reflecting the creative freedom, experimentation and expressive force that became hallmarks of the CoBrA movement.

Mogens Balle was an important contributor to post-war Danish art and exhibited internationally throughout his career. His works are represented in numerous public and private collections and remain highly sought after by collectors of Scandinavian modernism and CoBrA art.
