Oil on canvas, executed in a post-Cubist and late Expressionist idiom, the composition depicts a fractured industrial streetscape rendered through angular architectural planes, intersecting diagonals, and compressed spatial relationships. The palette is dominated by ochres, yellows, rust tones, slate blues, greens, and white highlights, applied with vigorous palette-knife impasto that emphasizes surface texture and structural rhythm. Signed lower right. The reverse retains the original exhibition label from the "35th Annual Members' Exhibition, Palm Beach Art League, Norton Gallery of Art, 1953," handwritten with the artist’s name Bradley Stevens, a Stuart, Florida return address, the title "The Factory Corner," and the medium noted as oil, providing strong documentary evidence of date, authorship, and exhibition history. The painting is housed in its original period wood frame, likely contemporary with the 1953 exhibition, enhancing its authenticity and historical integrity.
16 1/4 x 20 in., (41.3 x 50.8 cm.)
Overall good condition. Canvas is stable with no evidence of relining. Age-appropriate craquelure and pronounced surface texture consistent with heavy impasto technique. Minor wear to the frame. Original exhibition label is partially worn but intact and legible.
