Recognise this painting/artist?

I found this on flickr or a similar photo upload site (apologies to the photographer for re-posting it here). iirc, the photo was taken in 2007 at the Louvre. Anyone recognise the painting, know who painted it?

Could be a lot of guys: Hans Hoffman or Klee would be my first guess. But lots of guys did this kind of stuff from 1945-1960s.

It's L'orchestre by Nicolas de Staël (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolas_de_Sta%C3%ABl).
Tineye (http://tineye.com) is officially amazing.

Elwell: holy hell, man.. thanks for the link to Tineye

If Elwell hadn't found it first, I would have guessed for an Automatiste, like say, Jean Paul Riopelle. You might like his work.

Qitsune, thanks for the suggestion.
