DANILA VASSILIEFF (1897-1958) Untitled Figure c.1952 oil on canvas signed lower right: Vassilieff 100 x 67cm PROVENANCE: Private collection, Queensland OTHER NOTES: By the late 1940's, encouraged by his new wife Elizabeth, Vassilieff was beginning to turn his attention to sculpture. Vassilieff's use of simple shapes, geometric features, and abstract surface patterns in this work are reminiscent of the primitive folk carvings he was studying, and also the sculptural carvings he was producing. The paintings and watercolours he produced alongside these sculptures also demonstrate this shift.
