Vintage Mid-Century Modern Swedish Oil Painting - Figures by the Harbour

1960s

About the Item

FIGURES BY THE HARBOUR Oil on Board Size: 34 x 64 cm (including frame) Characterised by bold lines, vivid colours and distinct forms, this painting carries a modernist ethos. We see three figures standing by a harbour, but the artist has chosen instead to focus on the formal elements of the picture. reducing the scene before him down into blocky shapes and bold black lines. Broad brushstrokes in thick paint give this piece its textural effect. The palette is rich and vivid, enhanced further by the use of complementary colours. The painting is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age.

  • Vintage Mid-Century Modern Mini Swedish Figurative Portrait Painting - Whispers
    Located in Bristol, GB
    WHISPERS Mixed Media on Board Size: 30 x 37 cm (including frame) A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board. Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves...
