1950s gouache painting by Marvin Wolberg
by Mark Wolberg
Marvin Wolberg’s 1950s gouache on paper captures the quiet elegance and mystery of a fleeting moment. This evocative painting portrays the artist’s lover with her back turned to the viewer, her face revealed in a soft side profile. Wolberg’s brushwork, a hallmark of his signature technique, defines the figure with delicate white strokes that evoke both presence and ephemerality.
The casual pose, mid-step, suggests movement and intimacy, while her knee-length skirt and bare feet add a grounded simplicity that contrasts with the painting's emotional depth. Framed in a vintage gilt frame, this piece is more than a painting—it’s a timeless story of connection, artistry, and intrigue, perfect for collectors seeking a profound, mid-century masterpiece.
