ELEAZAR (LES) KRUM (active 1970s-90s) Abstraction '75 1975 acrylic on canvas artist's name and title on label verso 145 x 182.5cm PROVENANCE: The National Australia Bank Art Collection EXHIBITIONS: The Seventies: Australian Paintings and Tapestries From the Collection of National Australia Bank", National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, 15 October - 28 November 1982 LITERATURE: Lindsay, R. (ed.), The Seventies: Australian Paintings and Tapestries From the Collection of National Australia Bank, The National Bank of Australasia, Melbourne, 1982, pl. 23, p. 66 (illus.) "Eleazar Krum sees his work as 'instinctive drawing in paint', a disciplined gestural mark-making similar to oriental calligraphy with its repertoire of repeatable marks which still retain their spontaneity and freedom. In his painting he first makes an abstract expressionist gesture or controlled accident, and then balances it within a 'controlled chaos'. In 1973 he began experimenting with accidental effects in paint rather than the controlled analytical approach of his earlier Hard-edge paintings. 'I wanted to surprise myself, to see what happened and try to reproduce it again. The only idea was to make marks and consider their effects' (Interview with the artist October 1981). During his stay in London 1974 to 1978, he continued to develop his ability to control and reproduce these 'controlled accidents' until the thrown paint gesture or the brush gesture was as precise and repeatable as any drawn line". (excerpt p. 66) Estimate $1,200-1,800 Condition: In good condition with no visible signs of repair or damage, some paint loss and surface dirt to edges and corners.
