An outstanding geometric abstract mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas.
The painting presents a central figure, and it embodies the essence of a modernist aesthetic with its unique approach to depicting the human form.
Employing elements of geometric abstraction, the artist has skilfully deconstructed the figure and the background, reducing it down into fragmented shapes. Although each block appears to be composed of a distinct hue, it is evident that the artist has layered contrasting colours in some of the blocks to reveal interest. The different shapes have been carefully juxtaposed against one another, creating a wonderful interplay of colours that heightens the visual impact of the composition, whilst inviting the viewer to contemplate the essence of the human form and the interplay between individual elements that comprise our identity.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame have some very minor signs of ageing commensurate with age, and this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

Distinct, broad, and expressive multi-directional brushstrokes are a prominent feature of this work, adding gestural movement and a beautiful textural quality with a smooth finish.

An outstanding mid-century figurative composition, executed in pastel and watercolour on paper.
Painted in an abstract manner, all realistic details have been omitted and the composition has a strong focus on brushstrokes and colour as we discern 3 figures seated in the foreground of the painting, set against an effectively coloured backdrop that could resemble a landscape setting.
This work of art has both a painting and drawing style, with a combination of broad sweeping strokes in brown, as well as sketch-like lines used to outline the silhouettes of the figures.
This watercolour and pastel on paper is housed in a complementary painted wooden frame with gilt detail and inner linen border, and is framed behind non-reflective glass. There is some slight age toning to the paper and linen border, commensurate with age, but overall the painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A very well presented mid century limited edition (1/211) colour lithograph, signed and numbered in pencil by Swedish artist Curt Hillfon.
The artist has used shadows and tonal graduation to alter our sense of perspective in this abstract composition. Geometric shapes interact with each other in an interesting way, which is very pleasing on the eye.
This mid century print is housed behind glass in a complementary simple gilt frame and wide mount. There is some minor scuffing to the lower frame edges as shown, but this does not detract from the overall appearance. The print is in excellent vintage condition and presented very nicely.

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.

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 large, beautiful and subtle abstract figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas.
Abstract in nature, the forms in the composition are not clearly defined but our interpretation discerns a standing male figure embracing a female figure.
The artist has worked with a subdued and muted colour palette that instils a soothing quality to the painting. There is a beautiful transition from darker shades of blue and grey to lighter shades of cream and grey. Distinct energetic brushstrokes fill the canvas, adding an expressive effect and a wonderful textural quality to the painting.

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 fun and playful abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959.
The artist has arranged an array of geometric shapes in different colours and sizes onto the canvas, fitting them together seamlessly like a jigsaw puzzle.
The painting is very well balanced, with three dominating colours of red, yellow and grey being evenly spread out across this long and narrow work of art.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim white frame. There is some paint transfer to the canvas (small areas of white paint), as shown, but the painting is in very good vintage condition overall. There is very slight aging to the frame, but nothing that detracts.

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.

A striking and brilliantly executed geometric abstract composition, executed in oil onto canvas in 1958.
Rows of houses of different colours and sizes are neatly presented and aligned. Painted with a distinctly modernist ethos, the artist has reconstructed this scene down using flat blocks of contrasting colours to create a sense of space and depth, beautifully composing an almost puzzle-like composition with different sized geometric shapes fitting together.
Working with a restrained palette with a mix of light white tones contrasting against darker shades of red, purple and blue and arranged structurally, the painting is very well balanced and has a harmonious feel.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. The painting has some very light craquelure to its lower half (as shown in close ups), but the paint layer is very stable overall. The frame has some minor scuffing, commensurate with age.

In this semi-abstract composition, the artist has reconstructed a street scene with a row of colourful buildings down to blocks of contrasting colours using an array of rich and muted colours. Expressive and painterly brushstrokes have been confidently applied to the canvas, creating areas of impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface.

A small but powerful abstract composition by British artist Lloyd Durling, painted with oil stick and graphite onto linen panel. Signed, titled and dated on reverse.
Central to this painting is an intense engagement with oil stick and graphite on linen that explore the interface between painting, drawing and collage. There is a balance between expressive play and tight control and with this comes an expanse of associations that push beyond simple categorisations of abstraction or scale. The information in each painting, given by gesture or mark, is reduced to a fleeting register on the surface, as if each mark has to count.
The idea of topography is of central importance and is explored through continuing walking projects. These serve as opportunities to gather diverse source material through physical and emotional interactions with whichever environment chosen to traverse. It amounts to a kind of urban and rural wandering where the information gathered is reinterpreted or reimagined feeding into a deep connection with landscape, arrangements of ancient monuments, light, shadow and forgotten histories – all of these elements find a way into the work.
Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.

A large and striking mid century modernist figurative composition, executed in oil onto board.
2 fishermen are depicted in a boat out at sea, with their catch of the day.

An outstanding modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto board and dated 1950.
This striking still life painting presents six peaches neatly arranged in pairs in a diagonal fashion.
Containing elements of geometric abstraction as well as cubism, the painting is an experiment of geometric shapes and angled lines as the artist has skilfully reduced the composition down to these 2 key elements.

Aside from any interpretation, the coloured forms are in themselves fascinating to look at due to the striking juxtaposition between them and the dark background.

A very lively and playful mid century modernist figure scene, painted in oil onto board by the established female Swedish artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).
In this vivid and richly coloured composition, a group of figures are depicted gathered together, and are set against a brightly painted background. There is an area of blue in the background of the painting, which possibly alludes to a body of water, suggesting that the figures are by the beach.
Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has thoughtfully chosen not to reveal the details of the figures, and has instead simplified and abstracted them down to painterly and expressive brushstrokes as well as blocks of contrasting saturated colours.
This oil is painted onto thick canvas paper laid to board and is housed in a gilt frame with linen border. There is some craquelure present, mainly to the left hand side as shown in the close ups, but the paint layer is stable. There is some slight undulation to the surface, and the frame has some light scuffing. Overall the appearance is very good.

A striking and very confidently executed mid century modernist figurative composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

An outstanding and visually striking mid century abstract oil painting by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.
Using a restrained palette comprising shades of blue, black, green and white, large sweeping gestural brushstrokes fill the surface, creating a palpable sense of movement and dynamism. Abstract in composition, the artist has focused on texture and colour, creating a wonderful depth and interest through the use of layers of colour and texture. Osswald has added an aggregate to the paint, creating very distinct impasto and a three dimensional effect.
This oil on board is housed in a well-suited grey wood frame with an inner silver window. There are some water marks to the left side of the painting, although it looks like this might have occurred during the time of painting and not afterwards, so it might be intentional on the artist’s part. Overall, both the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A large mid century oil on canvas, painted in a distinctly modernist style. The artist has painted a broad, panoramic view of the rooftops of a coastal town, with the view of the sea in the distance. Flat planes of colour in broad and distinct brushstrokes have been juxtaposed one next to the other, creating a sense of space and depth within the picture, leading our eyes from the foreground (the roofs) to the background (the sea). This has also created a geometric effect which gives the painting an element of abstraction.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame, which has a very wide profile. The inner section has been lined with a grey fabric. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A large and brilliantly executed mid century modernist figure scene, painted in oil onto canvas by the established female artist Brita Hansson (1918-1979).
In this vivid and richly coloured composition, we see a group of figures gathered together, with one figure holding a baby. Beneath them are baskets on the floor. The artist’s free and imaginative use of colour is evident, beautifully capturing the sense that the artists are standing out in the hot sun in colourful dress. The background is a grid like composition painted in orange, red and sandy brown tones, evoking a sense of arid plains heated under the sun. There is a palpable sense of familiarity between the figures, as they gather together in casual conversation. Using a combination of bold black outlines and planes of juxtaposing colours, the artist has achieved great depth and complexity to the composition, while maintaining a sense of playfulness and freedom within her palette.
The painting is beautifully housed in a lightly painted wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
