Satisfying Mid-Century Abstract Oil on Canvas fraternal mask but he’s smiling widely still

Stems are 5 3/8" long when open

Satisfying Mid-Century Abstract Oil on Canvas fraternal mask but he’s smiling widely stillI dont buy a lot of mid century abstraction, but when I am out hunting for things I look at everything I come across in search of all things good, which I think this smallish painting very much is! Signed at lower right (I can make out Rog but am not certain the rest of the name), the artist definitely knew what they were doingit appears to me quite a confident painting, and a very resolved one, with a lot of life in it, and of course I also like it
