A playful and striking composition presenting 2 figures in a coloured backdrop, brilliantly executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.
Painted with a modernist ethos and containing elements of geometric abstraction, the artist has reconstructed the scene down to flat geometric shapes in contrasting colours to demonstrate a sense of depth, as well as bold outlines to highlight and emphasise form.
The painting is brimming with character as it contains a burst of lively colours, energetic brushstrokes, and the artist has interestingly used the reverse end of the brush handle to reveal areas of the canvas.
This oil on canvas is housed in a wide-profiled cream frame that has an intended distressed effect, as show in close ups. There are areas of ‘paint loss’ to the edges of the frame but we believe this to be part of the intended effect. The lines to the left and right of the frame are where the joints of the frame meet, as shown on reverse. There is a small repair to the top of the frame, as shown in close ups. However, it does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The painting is in very good vintage condition.

A vibrant and striking mid-century street scene composition, executed in watercolour on paper.
The painting depicts a pathway within a housing neighbourhood, surrounded by some lush trees in the background.
Containing elements of fauvism, the artist has employed the expressive use of bold and vivid colour to evoke emotions and create visual impact. The nature of watercolour as a medium has been skillfully optimised, as the use of its pigments in concentrated form has produced the vibrant colours of bold orange, yellow and green.
The artist has also thoughtfully made the pathway uneven, and has been able to skilfully capture a smooth transition of angles and to produce a delicate aesthetic overall.
This watercolour on paper is housed in a slim cream wood frame with a mount card, and is glazed (there is a layer of glass between the frame and the painting to ensure its longevity). The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the mount has some age toning present.

An outstanding mid-century modernist figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas board.
This painting depicts a female figure cradling a baby in her arms, and is inspired by the historical painting of Madonna and Child.
Containing elements of cubism and abstraction, the painting models the appearance of a stained glass window, whereby the overall composition has been segmented into fragments of different shapes, sizes, and colours.
Using smooth and flat brushstrokes, the artist has painted the blocks in contrasting colours with bold outlines to highlight the three-dimensional qualities of the figures, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the board.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen that pairs very well with the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and there are very minor scuffs to the lower edge of the frame.

A very confident and well-executed modernist composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1974 on the reverse.
The artist has used a restrained palette as well as bold, expressionist brushstrokes to create this striking composition that depicts a figure standing amidst some houses.
With its intense, linear powerful outlines, an elongated figure, as well as the use of sombre colours that imbue the painting with an almost melancholic atmosphere, the painting is reminiscent of the post-war French expressionist artist Bernard Buffet (1928-1999), who was also painting around this time.

A fantastic and very confidently executed modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1954.
This landscape scene depicts an open valley filled with lush greenery, and the artist has thoughtfully chosen to highlight the beauty of the colour green through using an array of shades.
Painted in a semi-abstract manner, this scene has been reconstructed down to planes of rich contrasting colours to demonstrate depth in the painting. Swift and powerful expressive brushstrokes dominate the canvas, imbuing the painting with energy and forming this very striking and lightly textured composition.
This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning cream ridged frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. The painting is in very good vintage condition, although there is a tiny pinhole to left corner of canvas, as shown, from a previous frame. However, this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A large and very well executed mid century modernist portrait in oil, painted onto canvas.
A male figure in his workwear sits on stool, with his cap resting on his knee, and perhaps a box of cigarettes clasped in his hand, captured at a point where he is taking a break from work. With its solid patches of colour and clearly defined forms, this striking portrait contains elements of post-impressionism, with the artist seeking to express emotions rather than just simply optical impressions. The figure looks straight at us, but his expression is kind, and there is a sense of warmth and familiarity to him.
We can just about see the view outside the window – a series of geometrical shapes alluding to houses and buildings. These geometry of angles and contrasting angles continues throughout the picture, with definitive forms and lines building up the picture.
This oil on canvas is housed in complementary slim wood frame. There is creasing to the canvas as shown, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

A striking mid century figurative composition, painted in oil onto paper, by the established female Swedish artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).
Executed in an expressionist manner, Hansson has captured a relaxing scene where 2 figures are seated by umbrella-covered chairs at a balcony, overlooking a scenic view of sun-drenched buildings and palm trees. One could perhaps infer that it is during summer, and that the figures are on holiday.
Expressive brushstrokes as well as a fiery colours of rusty red and orange fill the surface, wonderfully capturing the warmth and relaxing mood of the setting.
The painting is presented within a card mount, and housed behind glass in a simple wood frame. There is some age toning to both the mount, and some light undulations to the paper, commensurate with age. Otherwise, it is in good vintage condition overall.

A brilliantly executed cubist geometric mid century oil on board, painted in 1962.
Featuring angled shapes with hard edges that slot together seamlessly to form a view of houses, this striking piece encourages us to take in a cityscape through a unique lens. Here we see an interplay between lines, angles, and shapes, where the artist has reduced the buildings down into their simplest forms.
Although the palette is very restrained and almost monochrome, the juxtaposition of light and dark shapes creates the illusion of depth, making it seem as though the buildings in the composition are rising and falling, and receding into space.
This masterful oil composition is framed in its original mid century dark wood frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large and brilliantly executed mid century cubist figure composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
Reminiscent of cubist works by Pablo Picasso, this painting also features fragmentation and abstraction. By breaking the figure and the interior scene down into distinct areas, the artist shows us different view points at the same time and within the same space which suggests their three dimensional form. Yet there is also an emphasis on the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of depth.
The painting is housed in a textured champagne and gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

An outstanding mid century abstract cityscape, executed in oil onto board.
In this semi-abstract composition, the artist has reconstructed this cityscape filled with buildings and houses of different shapes and sizes down to blocks of contrasting colours.
Expressive and beautifully textured brushstrokes fill the surface, and using a wide spectrum of rich and muted pastel colours, the artist has skilfully paired and layered contrasting shades to form this striking composition. Furthermore, the buildings have been uniquely outlined in blue to highlight their respective forms.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary deep profile distressed frame that pairs very well with the painting. The painting has some losses to its edges, due to the frame. The frame is ever so slightly too wide for the painting so there is a narrow gap to either side of the board. There are losses and scuffs to the frame and its corners, as shown.
