About Jazz Piano

Canadian painter Milly Ristvedt loves jazz and several of her abstract paintings have been created to the beat of a jazz tune. In this modernist piece, on a vertical velvet green backdrop expansive gestural brushstrokes in pale yellow, white, orange and burgundy appear to capture the essence of a jazz beat–improvised and forceful.

“The work in this period was often more minimal in shape, done in more than one stage, more focused on the character and skeleton of gesture, and eventually, of a more horizontal/vertical orientation.” Milly Ristvedt
