Beyond the Trees

Beyond the Trees

SOLD.

A luscious and striking semi-abstract mid century landscape in oil, painted in 1961 by well known Swedish artist Ivar Morsing.

In this picture, deep, rich, vivid greens juxtapose beautifully against the yellows and creams of the foreground and sky.

Though no realistic details are present, the artist skilfully conveys the forms of the landscape such that we are able to discern them. Thick swirls of green in a range of tones make up the forms of the trees, creating areas of impasto that add texture and three dimensionality to the painting. Morsing punctuates the composition with a light coloured building in the distance, giving our eyes a focal point as well as adding a distinct sense of depth that lead our eyes in and around the picture.

There is a palpable ‘softness’ to the way Morsing has painted the landscape, which is distinctive of his style (to see other paintings by Morsing in our collection click here).

This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century gilt frame red undertones. The frame has some general wear and paint loss, commensurate with age.

Size: 37.5 x 63 cm (including frame)

Gather

Gather

SOLD.

A brilliantly executed and elegant mid century painting by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, executed in oil onto board.

Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has left out realistic details as he depicts a group of figures gathering together.

Gentle yet expressive brushwork with precise strokes and a subtle blending of a rich palette comprising shades of yellow, white and brown fill the canvas.

The artist has very skilfully imbued the painting with a luminosity, which is further enhanced by the gilt frame that surrounds it.

This oil on board is housed in a beautiful gilt frame with an inner linen lining and gilt window.  Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Together

Together

SOLD.

An absolutely delightful mid century oil by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted on to canvas. This seemingly simple yet very effective composition depicts figures on a beach. The artist has left out all realistic detail, using gentle yet expressive brushwork to capture the figures. There is a softness, and a tender-heartedness to the way he has captured the scene. Despite the use of the very minimalist palette, the artist has very skilfully imbued the painting with a luminosity, which is further enhanced by the gilt frame that surrounds it.

Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Black & Yellow

Black & Yellow

SOLD.

A small but brilliantly executed mid century abstract still life in oil, by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1956. A bold and vivid palette of black, yellow and green give this picture its punch. Contrasting blocks of saturated colour have been applied to the surface, illustrating the artist’s cubist influences, which he is most known for. This gorgeous semi-abstract painting in oil would certainly stand out in any interior, whether traditional or modern.

The painting is housed in a dark grey tray frame which suits the style and palette of the painting very well. The painting has some slight losses to the outer edges (as shown in photos), but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

Size: 24 x 46.5 cm (including frame)

A brilliantly executed  medium sized abstract composition, by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1958. A bold and rich colour palette of deep greens, greys and black are accentuated by yellow and white,  giving this picture its depth and intensity. Rhythmic circular brushstrokes are juxtaposed against more angular and formal shapes, encouraging our eyes to move in and around the picture and back again. The artist has filled the canvas with an array of textures – we see smooth brushwork, as well as thicker areas of impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface. There are also areas where the artist has dabbed the brush repeatedly, creating small ripples in the paint. Despite the range of colours, shapes and brushwork, there is a beautiful rhythm within the picture, and a very satisfying harmony in its composition.

The painting is housed in a very elegant smooth champagne gilt frame which illuminates the painting beautifully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame.

Washing Jugs

Washing Jugs

SOLD

Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

An excellent mid century oil by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1959. Depicting a woman seated on a chair surrounded by objects including a jug, this painting has been executed in a semi-abstract style with cubist influences.

Thoughtful and elegant brushstrokes with subtle blending, as well as a muted earthy colour palette of blues, browns and beige fill the canvas. The artist has skilfully abstracted down this scene through the use of contrasting blocks of colours that not only harmonise well together to give rise to the various forms, but to also demonstrate a strong sense of depth in this painting.

This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is framed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lined border.
