JEAN ALBERT MCEWEN, R.C.A. MIROIR SANS IMAGE, VERT - NUMBER 5, C.1971 oil on canvas signed and titled to the overflap 40 ins x 40 ins; 101.6 cms x 101.6 cms Provenance: Galerie Agnès Lefort, Montreal Private Collection, Montreal In 1971, Jean McEwen returned to painting in oil after a period spent using acrylics with a series called Miroir Sans Image (Imageless Mirror). The clear representation of a “frame” with golden corners surrounds the central layers of paint. This lot, Vert - Number 5, showcases small hints of bright turquoise that peek out from darker layers of varnished forest green. The subtle variation of greens - from subdued on the frame portion, to verdant across the central square - creates the impression of a painting that is alive, breathing, and swelling outward from the centre. Estimate: $40,000–60,000
