Small gouache by Jan Cox from 1956, a colourful visionary work with stylised trees and handwritten dedication, signed and dated.
This Nieuwjaar 1956 gouache captures Jan Cox’s distinctive, dreamlike visual language. The arched rows of stylised trees and the bright yellow path create a symbolic, almost inner landscape. The handwritten dedication adds a personal note to this small but expressive piece.
Trained by Is. Opsomer and co-founder of the Jeune Peinture Belge, Cox explored strong colour contrasts and a balance between figuration and visionary imagery during the 1950s. His works from this period are compact yet emotionally charged.
The work is professionally mounted in a wide passe-partout and presented in a adapted frame.
