Abstract Nude by Mina Pulsifer P3457

Vibrant 1965 abstract figurative painting by Mina Pulsifer, a California modernist known for her bold use of color and expressive, gestural brushwork. In this dynamic composition, Pulsifer reduces the human form to interlocking planes of greens, yellows, and blues, creating a rhythmic, almost musical sense of movement. The figure emerges and dissolves simultaneously, a hallmark of her mid-century abstract style.

The layered paint application and energetic strokes give the work a palpable immediacy, while subtle hints of red and deep teal add depth and contrast. Presented in a substantial vintage gilt frame that enhances its presence, this piece is an excellent example of Pulsifer’s mature period and her exploration of abstraction within the human form.

A striking addition for collectors of mid-century California art, abstract expressionism, or women modernists.
