About This Piece

William Gear was a Scottish painter who served as a Monuments Officer after World War II, helping recover artworks in occupied Germany. In 1947 he moved to Paris, where he got to know many of the leading postwar abstract painters and soon joined the CoBrA group. Geometric Figures comes from that first Paris year: triangle forms in red, green, teal, and yellow, crossed by orange calligraphic lines on a cream ground. It's bright and full of postwar optimism.

The mix of red, teal, and yellow is lively and modern, ideal for an office, studio, kids' room, or mid-century living room. It pairs well with black or oak frames and other postwar abstract prints.

About the Artist

William Gear (1915–1997) was a Scottish painter who studied in Edinburgh and spent a year working under Léger in Paris before the war. Afterward he returned to Paris, fell in with the CoBrA group, and made some of the most energetic abstract work of his career among artists like Appel, Jorn, and Constant. He brought that European avant-garde sensibility back to Britain at a time when most British painting was still looking elsewhere. His compositions are dense and rhythmic, built from interlocking forms and color that holds its ground.
