Modernist Apples

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

Here we see 4 pieces of fruit laid out on a blue fabric, but captured in a distinctly modernist style. Cubist elements can be seen at play here – the artist highlights the three dimensionality of the apples through abstract qualities such as form and colour. The artist builds depth through different planes of colour, which is evident in both the apples as well as the fabric that they lay on. Broad gestural brushstrokes are evident, giving this piece its painterly quality. The palette is deep, rich and earthy.

Orchard Apples

Sold

SOLD

A very skilfully executed modernist still life composition in oil, painted onto canvas and dated 1986.

In this picture, 3 apples sit on a saucer on a white surface, with a glimpse of wood panelling in the background. The focus here is immediately on the lusciousness of colours of the apples. The simple background enhances the deep and almost jewel-like colours of the apples. The artist has skilfully captured the myriad of red, yellow and green tones of the apples. The slightly imperfect and misshapenness of the apples are enhanced by the seemingly spontaneous and expressive brushstrokes, which capture the character of the fruit wonderfully. The colours of the apples are echoed slightly in the reflection on the saucer they are on.

The painting is housed in a beautiful gilt frame which suits the painting very well and enhances the colours within it. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

Seated Trio

Sold

SOLD

A brilliantly executed semi-abstract figurative oil composition, painted in 1964 by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum.

The composition presents three seated figures set against a backdrop filled with warm colours.

Painted in a semi-abstract style, the artist’s deliberate omission of realistic details encourages viewers to focus on brushstrokes and colour. And as we glance across the figures from left to right, their forms become more abstract.

The use of painterly and expressive brushstrokes creates a sense of energy throughout the painting. And the clever use of a limited colour palette of rich brown and orange tones in subtle variations helps to unify the composition and create depth and three-dimensionality.

This oil on canvas is housed in complementary black-painted wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

Size: 45 x 48 cm (including frame)

Yellow & Green Ball

Sold

SOLD

A striking original mid century modernist composition, painted onto board and dated 1969 on the reverse by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have represented in public collections including the National Museum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Sundsvall Museum and the Institut Tessinin in Paris.

A group of vessels with circular tops are set against an off white surface. This still life leans towards abstraction, with the artist focusing on the forms of the objects and how the elements interact with one another. There is an invisible tension between the objects, as they push and pull against one another. However, there is a very balanced rhythm through the picture, encouraging us viewers to weave our view in and out, up and down and around the composition to explore the form of each object. The artist uses a restrained palette – the picture is almost monochrome, except for the green and yellow circles, which draw our eye to the centre of the picture. There is a wonderful depth to the composition, as well as a very satisfying matte finish to the overall surface.

This painting is wonderfully presented in a distressed style frame with ridge detail, and an inner linen-lined border and gilt window. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Figures in Hats

Sold

SOLD

A well executed mid century modernist figurative composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

Depicted here are 2 figures, each in hats. Their facial details have been intentionally left out – the artist has chosen instead to focus on the formal elements of shape, form and colour. There is a cohesive to the palette of the composition, as the background of the painting echoes the colours of the figures’ outfits. It has been split into 3 horizontal parts, which also seem to match up with the 3 parts of the two figures (hat, head, torso).

The movement of the artist’s brush is visible in the piece, adding to its painterly character and creating a lovely textural effect. There is a timeless and pensive vibe to the piece.

The painting is housed in a painted wood frame. There is a very small area of paint loss to the left side of the painting as shown in the photos, but the paint layer is stable overall. The frame has some scuffing present.
