Gorgeous mid century modern abstract brutalist cityscape by Peter Sword from the 1960s. Painted on a wooden board with original wood frame. Raised paint strokes add a very textural quality to this artwork. Signed on the bottom in the center. Quite a stunner!

He is said to have returned from the Vietnam War troubled by his experience and to have turned to art-making and drugs as a way of dealing with his anxiety. less
