This is a wonderful and expressive Vintage Old Mid Century Modern Figural Abstract Kings Chess Oil Painting on Masonite, depicting three kings holding various vessels, and huddled amongst each other, as if having a private discussion. To me, they resemble chess pieces, such as the Rook, Knight, and King. However, they may be intended to represent the Three Kings or Three Magi of Biblical fame, who visited the infant Christ upon his birth in Bethlehem, following the North Star, and presented the newborn Messiah with gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. This artwork is rendered in a boldly cubist and modernist manner, and colored with prominent hues of red, interspersed with black. Signed: "Tzen" in the lower right corner. I could not find any information on this artist, but perhaps you know more about them or their work? This painting likely dates to the 1950's - 1960's. Approximately 33 x 43 inches (including frame.) Actual visible artwork is approximately 23 1/4 x 34 inches. Good condition for age, with some light scuffing, edge wear, and material loss to the ornate gilded mid-century wooden frame. Acquired from an affluent old estate in Pasadena, California. If you like what you see, I encourage you to make an Offer. Please check out my other listings for more wonderful and unique artworks!
