A moody, striking mid century landscape in oil, painted onto board. Painted in an expressive manner, we see broad and rhythmic brushstrokes applied to the surface to create this landscape scene. A loose flurry of brushstrokes to the upper half of the composition suggest temperamental overcast skies above – a storm beckons. The artist has used a restrained palette and has left details of the landscape fairly obscure, which has resulted in this largely abstract composition.
The painting is housed in a silver frame with visible wood grain, and both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A gorgeous coastal scape featuring 2 boats left ashore, amidst luscious plants by a secluded beach.
The artist has used a light and muted colour palette; and what is most striking is the visible and energetic brushstrokes that have been executed with so much confidence and certainty in directional flow to give rise to the various forms.
The painting is framed in a unique and characterful wood and gilt frame with an inner linen lining. The grain of the wood frame has purposefully been left exposed under the gilt coating, adding a wonderful effect.
Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

This mid century oil painting shows distinct elements of cubist influences: what appears to possibly be fishing nets drying along the coast have been reduced to simplified coloured shapes from different angles, resulting in a picture that appears fragmented and abstracted. Following the cubist ethos, the artist has broken down the landscape and the objects within it down into distinct areas, or planes. This has emphasised the two dimensional flatness of the canvas instead of creating the illusion of realistic depth.
This oil painting is housed in a wide profile gilt frame that brings out the colours of the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A charming and elegant oil painting of a young boy with his toy sailboat. Painted in broad and expressive brushstrokes, we can only just discern the main elements of the background which have been split into 3 main sections. The painting has a distinct feel of nostalgia; the way the background has been blurred out is similar to our memories of particular events. Here the moment in focus is of the boy playing with his boat – happy memories of days of youth. There is a wonderful sense of balance and harmony in this picture, the warm yellow and brown tones of the boat and the boys clothes are echoed in the sections of the background, and again in the frame of the picture.
The artwork is housed in an elegant dark wood frame with a inner gilded border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A beautifully executed and framed mid century landscape scene, painted in oil on to canvas.
The artist has mastered his medium (oil), applying layers of colour that are luminous and fluid. There is a distinct sense of playfulness here, where non naturalistic colours have given the landscape scene life, vibrancy and expression. We are able to analyse the application of the paint, layer by layer, giving us a glimpse into the artist’s process.
The painting is very uniquely framed in its original mid century frame, which has a lovely wide profile. The outer and inner gilt windows are separated by a beautiful deep blue fabric lined border. The frame complements the painting wonderfully and really makes it stand out.
The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some very minor scuffs to the frame, but it does not detract from the attractiveness of the painting.

An outstanding and energetic modernist style seascape, rendered in oil in 1958.
On this pleasant day, 2 boats are docked by the harbour and seagulls are flying above in the cloudy blue sky.
The artist not only displays a deep understanding of colour, but also shows off his artistic talents by using differing brushstroke styles.
The background of the painting is composed of impressionist-like qualities – where swift and uncontrolled brushstrokes have been used to depict the cloudy sky – with the intention to capture the fleeting and atmospheric conditions of that moment in time. As our eyes shift down to the middle and foreground of the painting, we can notice a transition in style – where short, straight and visible brushstrokes in a plethora of contrasting pastel colour shades have been used to render this overall stunning composition.
This oil on canvas is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a lovely light oak grainy frame with a linen lining, which pairs perfectly well with the work, making it stand out. There is minor ageing to the frame which is commensurate with its age.

An elegant and brilliantly executed mid 20th century oil landscape presenting hidden views of a port, that contains elements of abstraction and minimalism.
A hill is depicted In the foreground filling half of the canvas diagonally, allowing the viewer to see only a partial view of the ocean as well as a row of boats and houses behind it.
The painting contains a range of gentle and soft neutral colours of beige and sage, that gives off almost a dreamy sense, and imbues the works with calm and tranquility.
Broad swatches of painterly and expressive multi-directional brushstrokes have been used to paint the background and foreground, whereas fine thin lines have been used to paint the sail of the boats.
Displaying an excellent use of colours and brushstrokes, the painting’s overall soft and minimalistic feel makes it an easy piece to fit into many interior settings.
This oil on canvas is housed in a light oak frame with an inner gilt and grey window as well as linen lining, that really makes the painting stand out. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An outstanding and expressive mid-century abstract painting, rendered in oil.
A restrained palette of warm and rich earthy and naturalistic tones of green and yellow fill the canvas – transitioning so seamlessly as well as enriching the painting with a calming and soothing aesthetic.
Despite its abstract nature, the colour palette and composition of this stunning work could allude to the natural landscape of grassy sand dunes on a beach.
The artist has used long sweeping lightly-textured brushstrokes that not only lend a dynamic touch to the work, but also resembles movement brought forth by the forces of nature including currents or wind.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary grainy wood frame with an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Soft, short and swift brushstrokes have been used to paint this charming scene where boats and yachts fill the port, with buildings depicted faintly in the distant background.
This artwork draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including cubism and abstraction. Blocks of contrasting colours harmonise perfectly, giving to the various forms while creating a sense of depth and space.
The muted palette of this painting with its soft greys and blues create a gentle and pleasant effect on our senses, while at the same time reflecting the bustling heart of Marseille.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame with a fabric lines border and an inner gilt window. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition, with some typical ageing to the frame as shown in photos.

A small yet striking mid century oil on board depicting a row of figures and two boats by the shore. This simple yet intriguing composition has been beautifully executed in an expressive manner. The artist has used distinct brush strokes with areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) to create this well balanced composition in oil. He has focused on shape, form and line rather than realistic details of the scene. There is a calming, almost innocent like effect to this painting which makes it a pleasure to look art.
The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame with an inner fabric lined border, which suits it very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The edges of the frame have a few minor scuffs, but this is typical for a frame of this age.

A finely executed and well-balanced seascape with boats at a harbour, rendered in oil.
Painted in an impressionist manner, the artist has not only used a wonderful palette of varying shades of blues, whites and yellows to render this stunning composition; but has also used a combination of brushwork from long and sweeping strokes, to gentle and short strokes that pervade the painting with an air of calm and tranquility.
This oil on board is housed in its original mid century gilt frame with an inner wood and red lined border. The red on the frame picks up on the palette of the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

An ambient and tranquil mid century abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas. Rhythmic brushstrokes and subtle transitions in the layers of colour create a sense of ‘quiet’ within the picture. Although largely abstract in composition, the artist has still skilfully alluded to a calm coastal landscape, which adds to the sense of calm in this moody painting.
The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame, which illuminates the painting beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A gentle and tranquil modernist style oil painting of a scenic coastal scape – presenting a row of huts laid in between the vast sea and a lush forest.
Rhythmic and multi-directional brushstrokes fill the canvas; and there is a seamless transition of light texture from the left of the canvas to a smooth surface to paint the sky and sea on the right.
A light and soft colour palette with a touch of muted pastel tones have been used, instilling a sense of calm in the work. There is an outstanding play of colours where the artist has skilfully used contrasting shades to create depth and width in this panoramic painting.
The painting is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary wood frame with a linen lining that has some minor scuffing to the corners and age toning to the fabric but otherwise is in good and stable condition overall.

A tranquil and panoramic lake scene, painted in oil onto board. Confident, expressive brushstrokes in rich colours have been applied to create this painting of a lake by a forest. The water lies still and calm, allowing the reflection of the trees to be cast beautifully on the waters, creating a symmetrical effect. The artist has used several layers of colour as well as areas of impasto (where the paint is thickly applied such that it stands proud from the surface) to create texture and depth.
The painting is housed in a simple white wooden frame, and is in very good vintage condition.

An expressive and dynamic mid 20th century seascape painted in oil.
Executed with bold and confident brushstrokes, this artwork depicts a lady standing on a deck beside a row of huts by the beach, as she admires the beauty of the ocean and horizon afar.
With areas of thick impasto creating texture and three dimensionality – the work is imbued with a strong sense of movement, as one can almost feel the powerful energy of the strong tidal waves.

A large and semi abstract mid century oil on canvas, painted in 1966.
We can be forgiven for not being able to see the subject pictured here as the artist has simplified the forms into flattened shapes so dramatically that the painting looks almost fully abstract at first glance. He has used large blocks of juxtaposing colour in a multi-directional, expressive style to create this lively composition. As our eyes begin to get accustomed to the view before us, a river bridge slowly begins to reveal itself. This transitional effect between abstraction and reality and vice versa makes this painting wonderfully interesting to look at, and encourages us to move between different viewing modes.
The painting is housed in a robust wood frame which suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A beautiful expressionist oil of the landscape of Varengeville, a commune in the Normandy region in northern France. Featuring prominently in this composition is the small church of Saint-Valery, which sits by the side of the cliff along the Alabaster coast, under the early morning light. Interestingly, the churchyard holds the tomb of the Cubist artist Georges Braque, who was inspired and mesmerised by Varengeville and lived there for many years. In this painting, the artist has used a wonderful array of light and pastel colours to capture the landscape, creating a post impressionist feel.
The painting is housed in an elegant gilt frame, which illuminates the painting beautifully. Both the painting and its frame are in very good vintage condition, with only some minor scuffing to the far corners of the frame.

Painted in 1951, this gorgeous oil depicts the landscape of the fishing village of Reine in Lofoten, Norway. Lofoten is known for its breath-taking scenery, which has been captured by the artist in a very personal way. Rather than a realistic depiction of the Arctic ocean and its peaks, the artist has brought into focus the colourful fishing sheds that contrast wonderfully against the snowy landscape. There is a wonderful playfulness to the palette, composition and brushstrokes, and the way in which the artist has abstracted the scenery.
This large painting is housed in its original mid century distressed light grey frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some paint losses to its edges, as shown in the photos, which are typical for its age.

An outstanding and lively mid century cityscape by a Mediterranean coast, painted in oil in 1964.
Lush tall palm trees and colourful buildings fill the streets, and the sun shines its rays on this scorching hot day.
This large and well-executed painting draws on a range of modernist concepts and influences including cubism and abstraction. As we spend time to study its colours, forms and play on geometric shapes, there is more than meets the eye.
Blocks of contrasting bold colours that harmonise well together have been used to give rise to the various forms, and we can feel the strong energetic vibe of this town from the sweeping and confidently executed brushstrokes.
This oil on board has some light surface scratches (close ups are included in the photos above) but is in good condition overall. It is housed in a complementary wood frame with a an inner gilt window

A still and serene oil painting featuring expansive views of a rural coastal scape under vast blue skies, executed in a semi-abstract manner.

The smooth and horizontal brushstrokes used not only imbue the work with an air of calm, but further enhances the panoramic views of this scene.

A beautifully monochromatic work of art presenting a ship sailing solo in the ocean. There is the sense of the quiet, but also of the vastness of the ocean. In this painting, the tanker appears tiny within the expansive ocean and sky.
The artist has used a restrained palette comprising varying shades of grey, and it is this darkness of both the land and water that conveys a sense of power and strength, that envelopes the whole picture, including what would normally be an enormous tanker. The artist has skilfully managed to convey the power and strength while still evoking an overall sense of visual calm and stillness in the painting.
The oil painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame, which has a few minor nicks around the edges, but this does not detract from the overall beauty of the picture. The painting is in very good vintage condition with no losses.

A striking mid century coastal scape, painted in oil onto canvas. The artist appears to have taken inspiration from the modernist concept of fauvism, which is a style characterised by strong non-naturalistic colours and bold brushwork. The forms of the subjects (in this case the land, trees, sea and sky) have been simplified, making them appear quite abstract. The artist has also used complementary/opposing colours side by side, which make the painting look brighter.
This oil is housed in its original mid century off-white frame with a gilt border and an inner white slip. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A wonderfully dynamic expressionist piece by Swedish artist Arne Wallsten, depicting two fishermen who have just come back from the shore after a long day out at see.
Wallsten’s quick and thick brushstrokes and contrasting colours convey intense movement within the picture. Large brushstrokes of dark blue and grey signify the inclement weather the fishermen have had to face all day while out at sea, and Wallsten has further extended this sense of blustery and rough weather into the land, where he has painted the ground almost as though it is itself a turbulent surface. Long vertical, expressionist strokes of yellow, brown and orange on the house to the right indicate that it has had to face the element – its roof and walls rough and rugged.
Wallsten was born in 1932 in Lund. He is know for figures in interiors and exteriors, and his paintings always carry a narrative.
This oil on canvas is housed in its original wood and painted gilt frame. It is in excellent vintage condition.
Size: 39 x 47 cm (including frame)
This painting would pair nicely with another Arne Wallsten painting of a similar size which is also available in our collection. View it here.

A delightful and highly scenic modernist style riverscape depicting a row of houses lined up along a riverbank.
This richly textured work of art features thick and expressive painterly brushstrokes which have been executed with great confidence and skill.

A fantastic panoramic landscape painted in oil onto board, featuring a soft colour palette of mostly cool tones including blues, greens and yellows. There is a wonderful sense of depth and detail that has been achieved through the artist’s use of different paint application methods. In some areas the paint has been applied with a palette knife, while in other areas a brush has been used, with short and long strokes moving in different directions. This has resulted in a myriad of different textures and consistencies within the picture, creating a very visually stimulating painting.
The painting is housed in a simple white frame which gives it a contemporary feel. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a very minor scuff to the bottom right hand side but this certainly does not detract from the overall beauty of the painting.

A beautiful mid century Swedish coastal landscape scene in oil, painted in 1944. The painting has a very calming colour palette, and is the perfect piece to rest our eyes on. Pastel blues, purples and yellows have been painted in with soft brush strokes, and the general scene is very visually pleasing. A group of figures, possibly fishermen, appear to be hanging out some materials to dry (nets perhaps), with a shed behind them and the sea beyond that. There is an overall softness to this painting, from the palette and brushwork, to the overall coastalscape scene.
The painting is also housed in a gorgeous sand coloured wood frame, with an inner gilt border that illuminates the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

We have here a calm summer’s day, the water is still and the air is cool. To the left a boat is anchored, just beyond the reeds. It is easy to imagine the artist, painting this beautiful sight before them, en plein air. The impressionistic style and subtle impasto has created a highly textured effect, and the artist has left small bits of the board exposed. The clear glassy water beautifully reflects the open skies above, while the richer green colours of the reeds in the forefront pair perfectly with the tree lined background.
The painting is wonderfully presented in a gilt frame with beaded moulding.

A bold and striking landscape view of Stockholm, painted in oil onto canvas. It is evident from the dynamism within the painting that the artist was very captivated by the landscape before him, expressing his own sensations through line and colour. The bold earthy tones of the houses and buildings communicates its physical man-made hardness against the softer, cooler palette of the river running through the city. An artwork like this one is distinctly reminiscent of the landscape paintings by the Modernist artist Paul Cézanne.
The painting is housed in an excellent distressed wood and gilt frame, which has a deep and robust profile. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A striking expressionist oil of a moored boat. Thick, bold, and unrefined brushstrokes imbue this painting with palpable energy and dynamism, and we are able to feel the artist’s spontaneity and energy coming through the canvas. It is quite likely that this artwork has been painted en plein air (where the artist works outdoors and has to therefore capture the landscape quickly). Areas of the canvas surface can be seen, and it is precisely this roughness and rawness that gives this painting its character.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame which complements it very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but this certainly does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the painting.

An outstanding impressionist style work depicting an artist painting the beautiful scenery before him on his canvas, en plein air.
This work is certainly a visual pleasure to the eye. The short, swift and energetic brushstrokes are beautifully textured – giving the painting a sense of three dimensionality and invigorating it with much liveliness.
Furthermore, the artist demonstrates a deep understanding of the relationship of colours. Not only has he been able to effortlessly mix and layer colours as they harmonise so well together; but he has also been able to displayed a strong sense of depth in the painting through the use of contrasting shades.
This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is well presented in a wooden frame, with an inner white and gilt mount that further accentuates its beauty.
