A large and very textured mid century modernist landscape oil, painted onto board.
The artist has used a range of tools that have created different types of marks on the surface. The artist has built up the layers of paint skilfully, creating a composition full of texture and impasto. Rich and saturated colours in orange, blue, yellow, green and black have been applied to the board in an expressive manner, incorporating the artist’s subjective response to the landscape before him. An umbrella like tree punctuates the left side of the picture creating a focus for our eyes. Rich blues span the sky above. and a long path leads our view further into the picture.
This expressive painting is housed in a very complementary light wood frame with a linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the lower edge of the frame but it is in very good condition overall.
Size: 61 x 81 cm (including frame)

A brilliantly executed mid century street scene composition in oil, painted onto canvas.
Reminiscent of the modern British painter L.S. Lowry, this painting also features an urban landscape peopled with small stylised human figures to the right side. The artist has used a restricted colour palette, using repeated but juxtaposed colours of cream, orange, grey and green. The forms have been flattened and the scene of buildings has been reduced down to large plans of colour. Interestingly, the artist has left details of the substrate (the canvas) showing through, which also gives this painting a ‘drawing’ or ‘illustration’ like effect.
The painting is housed in a very complementary wood frame with a linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The linen border has some marks and the frame some scuffing, but none of that detracts from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

A small but compelling mid century abstract, painted in oil onto board.
There is a very satisfying sense of movement and rhythm within the composition, created through sweeping gestural brushstrokes. Areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly and so stands proud from the surface) give the painting its texture and depth. The painting is reminiscent of vigorous waves of an ocean, or of a mountain landscape with wind and snow. Either way, there is a palpable feeling of nature and its forces.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a dark wood inner window, and a gilt outer border. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A striking and vibrant mid century semi-abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
A myriad of patterns and colours have been applied to the canvas, creating a wonderful scene of a seated lady surrounded by pots and plants. To the top left we see the suggestion of trees, and then to the middle ground a range of leafy plants around the seated figure. The scene is punctuated by a large bowl, covered in a colourful pattern. The artist skilfully uses colour and shape to its full potential, combining a mix of both fluid expressive brushstrokes with more controlled, restrained angled shapes. The composition is such an expression of liveliness and playfulness, with all the individual elements bouncing off one another and yet harmonising wonderfully.
This oil on canvas is housed in white wood frame with an inner silver window that pairs perfectly with the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A brilliantly executed and emotive modernist style oil painting, presenting a mountainous landscape with trees.
Executed in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has simplified forms down to blocks of distinct colours and expressive brushstrokes.
A playful selection of rich and lively colours harmonise wonderfully to form this panoramic landscape view, and the use of contrasting shades demonstrate depth and width to the painting.
This oil on canvas is housed in a characterful light wood frame with an inner silver window that illuminates the painting. There are minor areas of paint loss to the painting and light scuffs to the frame. Nevertheless, this does not detract from its overall attractiveness and the work is good vintage condition.

A large and excellently executed semi-abstract mid century oil composition, painted onto canvas.
Depicted here are the outlines of several figures crowded together. The artist has applied a myriad of rich, saturated colours with confident and expressive brushwork. He has reduced the figured down to their formal elements – facial and physical details have been abstracted down to skilfully executed paint marks in various flattened shapes, forms and lines. There is wonderful movement, texture and dynamism to the piece.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame which has multiple borders lined in different material. There is both a woven hessian section as well as a linen-lined section.

A very well executed mid century modernist landscape in oil, painted onto board.
Here the artist has applied expressive brushstrokes in vivid colour to compose a semi-abstract mountain scene. Using non naturalistic colours, the artist has incorporated an expressive and emotional response to the landscape before him, capturing both the ruggedness and beauty of the natural landscape. His short and swift strokes applied with a brush in a myriad of colours create wonderful pockets full of colourful detail to look at and enjoy.
The painting is housed in an excellent frame which has a a linen lined border and an inner gilt window which illuminates the painting beautifully. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. There is a small area of surface dirt along the top edge of the painting, as shown in the photos. This does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

An exceptional mid century modernist composition in oil, painted on to board.
Swathes of rich, saturated colour connect and intersect to create this striking landscape composition. Using a range of non naturalistic colours to depict the landscape, the artist reduces the scene before him down into shapes, forms and patterns, Realistic details have been intentionally left out, and traditional methods of perspective cast out. Instead, the artist focusses on formal qualities, and uses contrasting colour to create depth and space. Also incorporated into the composition are elements of cubism and abstract patterning.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame with a linen lined border. There is some craquelure (typical for an oil of this age) to the lower half of the painting but the paint surface on the entire composition is very stable. There is some surface wear to the inner edge of the right side of the painting, as shown in the close ups.

A brilliant modernist abstract composition in oil, painted in 1967.
Broad, distinct, and painterly brushstrokes have been applied to the surface to create this abstract composition. The subtle nuances in tones and shades create a rather satisfying composition, encouraging our eyes to follow the expressive brushwork around the canvas. The sweeping of the brushwork adds to the impact of the painting and brings our attention to the materiality of the creamy paint and the physical movement of the artist’s hand. The areas of pronounced impasto add a sense of depth and three dimensionality to the painting.
The painting is housed in a simple wood frame that suits it well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A soothing and elegant abstract composition in oil, painted in 1969.
This luxurious painting features soft, gentle colours, while still incorporating areas with great texture and depth. In the centre of the composition we have areas of impasto, where the paint has been thickly applied so its stands proud from the surface, creating an area of focus for the viewer. Our eyes are then gently led outwards towards to the more blended areas. Despite the composition not being of anything identifiable, this abstract piece has a very distinct emotional and aesthetic impact. We are encouraged to focus on the materiality of the paint, the colours, and the effect that has both visually and emotionally.
This abstract painting would certainly elevate any interior space and add a touch of luxury.
It is housed in a very complementary wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An expressive mid 20th century modernist oil painting depicting a trawler out at sea, in the Karlshamn archipelago in Sweden.
The artwork is characterised by painterly expressive brushstrokes, as well as a restrained and mellow colour palette that leaves an air of nostalgia.
The dynamic and loose brushstrokes though executed with vigour, are thoughtful and precise, and wonderfully capture the transient conditions of nature and the movement of the boat.
The frame is housed in its original mid century frame with an inner linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A large and very well executed 20th century modernist style oil composition, painted onto canvas.
The artist has left out realistic details, reducing the landscape down to planes of colour that blend effortlessly into each other, while still creating a sense of depth and space on the canvas. In the centre of the composition we see a group of farmhouses painted in vivid dark brown and white, creating a focal point and drawing our eyes inward initially. As we shift our focus to the lower half of the composition where the fields have been depicted, angular shapes in soft colours fit together seamlessly like a jigsaw puzzle. Despite the angled shapes, there is a distinct softness to it that makes it very visually pleasing. As we move upwards, a woodland sits behind the farmhouses, giving the composition a wonderful balance and sense of harmony. The artist has used the colour palette very skilfully to full effect, giving the picture a wonderful luminosity.
The painting is housed in a simple gilt frame which suits it perfectly. The paining is in good condition. There is a light white vertical surface mark below the farmhouses, as shown in close up photos. The frame has some scuffing the left and top edges, but does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

An elegant and textured mid century abstract composition in oil, painted in 1959.
Abstract and non-representational in nature, the artist encourages us to focus instead on the materiality and motion of the paint and brushwork. Gestural marks have been applied in a considered manner, making sure to keep its balance and colour harmony. Although very much subject to personal interpretation, we think the dynamism, textures and colours of this painting could be reminiscent of the sea and its reefs.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a linen border. The painting has some scattered craquelure, typical for a painting with thickly applied paint of this age. The paint layer is stable overall and both painting and frame are in good condition otherwise.

A large and colourful mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1967.
This abstract expressionist composition features a myriad of gestural brushstrokes in a vivid array of colours. We get a sense of the artist’s brush and the vigour in the way it moves on the canvas, applying sections of colour in quick and swift strokes. Yet the composition and the overall balance of colours and the way they have been placed on the canvas is carefully considered, creating a picture that has a distinct harmony, balance and vividness.
The painting is housed in a simple wood frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A small but very striking mid century semi-abstract composition in oil.
Reminiscent of the 20th century modernist style of ‘fauvism’, this painting features the classic fauve feature of separating colour from its descriptive, representational purpose and allowing it to exist on the canvas as an independent element. In this picture, the colour establishes a structure within the work without being true to the natural world. Its brushstrokes also carry the fauve style of being short and separated, creating a sense of movement within the picture.
Vivid, expressive colours and spontaneous brushwork contained within a small composition create a piece that would stand out in any interior. It would work as a single piece in a small space that needed a lift, but would also work well as part of a group hang.
The painting is housed in an off white painted wood frame that enhances its vintage character. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A playful and striking mid century modernist painting, executed in oil onto board.
This poignant painting is of a post impressionist style, characterised by solid patches of unrealistic colour, definitive forms and abstract tendencies. Fishing nets left out to dry have taken on its own unique character altogether, with the artist celebrating its formal qualities of circles, dots, patterns and lines, and the play of colour under the sunlight.

An excellently executed mid century semi abstract oil on board, painted in 1959 by well known artist Ivar Morsing.
Three figures working the land are depicted against an abstract background. A deep, rich and vivid palette of browns, orange, black and greens 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 beautifully framed in deep blue frame with an ornate gilt inner section. The frame really enhances the piece and brings out the rich colours in the painting. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

A typically modernist abstract mid century oil painted in 1958 that would be a striking addition to any interior.
With its hard edged lines and fragmented imagery, it is reminiscent of the cubist movement, as well as of the Vorticist works of Wyndham Lewis.
Broad, angled white lines move in all directions filling the surface of the canvas. These lines are set against tan and light brown rectangular patterns. Although abstract in its imagery, the weaving and interlinked lines seem to trace a movement, and bring to mind a mechanical motion. The hard edges of the patterns juxtapose the more subtle, minimal colour palette, focusing our eyes on the more formal properties of the composition such as shape, form and line.
There are some paint and surface losses to the corners and edges. It has been framed in an unconventional way – The painted board has been fixed to stretcher bard and then a black frame has been attached around the stretcher bars, so the board protrudes from the frame. Please also refer to the images of the reverse of the painting too.

A panoramic mid century landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.
This long and very restful landscape features short and expressive brushstrokes in an array of soft colours. A row of white stepping leads our eyes leftwards and upwards along the bottom edge of the composition, reaching the area of sloping layered greens. This then takes our view back downwards towards what appears to be a pond or lake on the right side of the composition.
This painting has a very soothing effect and would suit a bedroom or above-the-bed wall perfectly.
The painting is housed in a beautiful gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large and very atmospheric mid century oil composition, painted in 1967.
Two boats sit quietly on the ice, a static but powerful image. The red and black of the boats contrast starkly against the white and light blue of the ice. Thickly applied layers of paint capture the robustness and depth of the winter ground. We can imagine the artist moving his paint brush in a dance across the surface, building up the layers slowly but surely. Two thirds of the composition is dedicated purely to the white icy ground, giving us a sense of the expansiveness of the wintery landscape.
The painting is housed in a stunning wide profile frame with an inner gilt border that further illuminates the painting. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A large and very striking mid century abstract composition painted in oil.
Our eyes are initially drawn towards the right side of the composition, where darker, wider and more controlled brushstrokes mark the canvas vertically. As our eyes move leftwards, these strokes become looser, less controlled and more discordant. The composition is a skilful balance of spontaneity and tight control, and conveys strong emotion and perhaps the inner impulses of the artist.
The painting is housed in a dark gilt frame which suits it very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some marks, mainly to the lower edge, but these do not at all detract from the main painting.
Size: 57 x 91 cm (including frame)

A large and earthy mid century landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.
Expressive, gestural brushstrokes fill the canvas, with textured strokes creating areas of impasto that have been layered over smoother swathes of colour. A rich, autumnal palette has been used, and although no realistic details of the trees have been depicted, we get a palpable sense of the lushness of the forest. Through the use of contrasting colour the artist has skilfully conveyed a sense of depth and three dimensionality to the forested landscape.
This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with red undertones, and the frame illuminates the painting. Please note that some glare is present in the photographs.

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.
