    Sold

  • Rest

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A small and poignant mid century figurative oil portrait by the well-establish 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.

    Executed in a semi-abstract manner, the composition presents a seated figure who is at rest. The artist has left out all realistic detail, using gentle yet expressive brushwork, and there is an overall softness to the way he has captured the scene. Despite the use of the very restrained warm colour palette, 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 canvas board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The frame corners have a few small losses, but overall the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Section

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A playful and emotive mid century modernist abstract composition painted in oil onto canvas.

  • Don Quixote

    Sold

    SOLD.

    Seemingly a nod to the Spanish novel Don Quixote, this delightful mid century narrative oil painting features a host of animals, people and objects, executed in a Naïve style.

    The man on the horse to the bottom left, the house with the windmill, and the second man on the donkey (presumably), are perhaps all references to the first modern novel Don Quixote.

    Putting aside the references, the painting is inherently a delight to look at – with a myriad of details and flying animals to admire in a very lovely colour palette. It speaks of a freedom to paint whatever one chooses, in a style that relinquishes all constraint that comes with art created within the traditional system.

    It would make for a great statement piece, or even a playful piece for a child’s room.

    The painting is housed in a lovely gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
