Impressionism painting No nightshade Oil on panel by Pierre Vlerick

This significant 1962 painting dates from the most acclaimed period of Pierre Vlerick, a leading figure of Belgian modern art and a prominent professor at the Ghent Academy. Titled "Geen nachtschade" (No Nightshade), this composition is an eloquent example of Lyrical Abstraction, where the artist moves beyond representation to explore pure light and atmosphere. This Époque in the early 1960s represents Vlerick's peak of formal freedom, making this work a cornerstone of his artistic legacy.

The Technique/Support is oil on Masonite panel, a medium favored by mid-century modernists for its durability, allowing Vlerick to achieve sophisticated chromatic layering. The palette, blending soft pinks, vibrant yellows, and cool greys, establishes a harmonious visual rhythm. The state of conservation is excellent, maintaining the vibrancy of the pigments and the delicate texture of the brushwork across its impressive vertical scale.

Authenticity is fully documented by the Signature and Datation "1962" in the lower left corner, further supported by the artist's handwritten inscriptions on the reverse, detailing the title, date, and location. Housed in its period frame (136 x 75 cm), the painting possesses a commanding gallery presence. For the serious collector, this work represents a rare chance to own a documented masterpiece from Pierre Vlerick's most desirable creative era.
