{"product_id":"cuthbertson-arch-untitled-fish-17868","title":"Arch Cuthbertson 'Untitled (Fish)'","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis original work on paper by Arch Cuthbertson pairs strong artistic lineage with a striking visual language. Confident, gestural marks expand across its scale to create bold movement. It feels both grounded and dynamic - well suited to mid-century modern interiors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCuthbertson was a passionate advocate for Australian modernism, working fluidly between cubist, hard-edge abstraction and abstract expressionist styles. His practice was, as one critic observed, akin to old-time jazz—an energetic and intuitive interplay of rhythm, structure and release. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 'Untitled (Fish)', Cuthbertson represents a young boy holding a fish in his hand valiantly. The innocence and childlike quality of the boy is enhanced through the vibrant colour palette implemented - a colour palette of predominately primary colours: red, yellow and blue. This work is therefore alive with playful energy and vigour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA revered artist and educator, Cuthbertson concluded his teaching career as a Senior Lecturer at Deakin University and was closely connected to figures such as Leonard French and Roger Kemp. His work is represented in major public collections, including the National Gallery of Victoria and the Art Gallery of South Australia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor collectors and mid-century modern aficionados, this work offers both a refined aesthetic statement and a meaningful connection to Australian modernism - distinct, expressive and enduring.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/artandcollectors.com\/collections\/arch-cuthbertson\"\u003eArch CUTHBERTSON\u003c\/a\u003e (1924 - 2000)\u003cbr\u003e'Untitled (Fish)'\u003cbr\u003emixed media on paper\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eImage Size\u003c\/i\u003e: 74 x 101 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eDimensions\u003c\/i\u003e: 74 x 101 cm \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSigned\u003c\/i\u003e: Cuthbertson studio stamp verso\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComes with Letter of Provenance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition:\u003cstrong\u003eVery Good:\u003c\/strong\u003e Describes a work of art's image as Excellent, but may show some small signs of surrounding wear to paper or frame.
