Product description
Anton Martineau (1926–2017) – Tango Dancers
Gouache on paper, 70 x 50 cm (framed 98 x 78 cm)
Includes artist's book containing the work.
Provenance: Smolders Collection – founder of the art collection at International Card Services. Very good original condition.
In Tango Dancers, Anton Martineau displays his signature expressive style: fierce, vital, and charged with emotion. The two figures are engaged in an intense embrace—a game of attraction and repulsion, of passion and tension. With powerful color and bold brushstrokes, Martineau captures the essence of the tango: a dance of passion, struggle, and surrender.
Martineau, who began his career as a house and decorative painter, developed into one of the most idiosyncratic expressionists of post-war Dutch art. His work revolves around human drama—the eternal contradictions of man and woman, love and hate, life and death. His theatrical, sometimes caricatural figures convey both humor and tragedy, giving his paintings a deep, human intensity.
An intriguing and powerful work that leaves the viewer deeply moved—a highlight of Martineau's oeuvre and a special addition to any collector.
