An expressive and uniquely textured modernist style landscape composition, rendered in oil on canvas.
The artist has used a restrained palette of blues of greens to execute this scenic view depicting a hilly landscape surrounded by trees.
An aggregate has been added to the surface – which wonderfully simulates the granular nature of sand, creating an almost three dimensional and sculptural effect to the painting.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary cream wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition

A small but very interestingly executed mid century oil on board, housed in a wonderful frame.
This semi abstract composition features broad, expressive and textured brushstrokes. The artist has used contrasting and non-realistic colours to create a discernible scene where two figures appear to be standing on a truck with an open door. The artist has also exercised restraint with his paint, using what appears to be simple and minimal brushwork to execute the scene at hand. It is this restraint that shows off the artist’s skill, and makes the composition a very satisfying one to admire.
This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century linen-lined frame. There are ageing spots on the frame, commensurate with its age.

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 nostalgic mid century landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.
A row of small houses sit atop mountains looking over the landscape. A tree punctuates the middle of the foreground, giving our eyes a focal point. To the left of the composition we see cyprus trees standing tall, and as we move further into the back of the composition, a row of mountains sit underneath the sunset sky. The artist has captured a moment where it is not long before the light is lost and night begins. The sun sits just below the horizon, and this time of twilight casts a purple tinge onto the landscape.
This scene exudes a feeling of nostalgia and tenderness, while being really calm and restful.
This oil on canvas is housed in its original mid-century wood frame with an inner silver window that makes the painting stand out. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The window on the frame has areas of general wear and paint loss, commensurate with age.

An outstanding mid century still life depicting a vase of dahlias set against a patterned backdrop, executed in oil.
The painting is well balanced as although a lightly toned pastel colour palette has been used to imbue the work with an overall sense of calm and softness, the bold and confident brushstrokes invigorate the work with liveliness and add a lovely textured effect.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary dark gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition. The edges of the frame have some minor scuffs but these are not obvious unless closely inspected.

A brilliantly executed mid century modernist oil composition, painted in 1959.
Here the artist depicts 3 chickens, but has intentionally left out realistic details and has instead chosen to focus on the formal qualities of shape, line and colour. He has also incorporated lots of texture by using thick paint applied in quick successive motions. This playful picture has been skilfully executed and would make a wonderful addition to any interior.
The painting is housed in a wood frame with a linen lined border. Both paining and frame are in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs to the left edge but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

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.

A striking mid century modernist still life, painted in oil onto board.
A myriad of colours, shapes, forms and lines has been used in this composition. The artist purposefully draws our attention to the fluidity of the objects and the background, using rounded and curved lines for all the individual elements, which are set against a rainbow-like band of colours. There is a distinct playfulness to this picture, in terms of subject, colour as well as shadow and light.

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.

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.

A brilliantly executed mid century still life in oil, painted by the established artist Eric Cederberg.
Thick swirls of creamy paint form the background of the top half of the composition, and then below this we have a darker brown area with outlines in thick strokes that mimic the appearance of wood grain. Contrasted against this earthy palette are three bright and vivid pears, still connected to their branches and their ochre leaves. There is a beautiful balance to the horizontal composition, which Cederberg is known to be adept at achieving.
Cederberg was a Swedish artist who made his debut on the art world in Helsingborg in 1922. Later he participated in the Skåne Art Association Exhibition in 1926 and the Swedish Public Art Society exhibition in Stockholm in 1941. He is represented in several public collections in Sweden.
This painting is housed in an absolutely gorgeous champagne frame with a wide profile. The painting has some scattered craquelure but is stable overall and is in good condition otherwise. The frame is in good vintage condition.

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 striking yet homely still life in oil, painted in a modernist manner.
A blue vase filled with daffodils sits alongside a potted plant and some fruit. The objects sit atop a table by a windowsill, with a patterned curtain to the right side of the composition. The artist has used deep, rich, and vivid colours which have been applied to the surface with broad, and distinct brushstrokes. The artist has captured the morning light beautifully, using an array of colours to depict the effect of light against the objects, the table, the wall and the window sill. The distinctive blues, greens and yellows repeat themselves throughout the composition, creating a very harmonious and satisfying still life picture.
This oil painting is housed in a simple silver frame which suits it very well and complements its palette. Both painting and frame are in very good 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 large, expressive and textured winter landscape composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
Confident, gestural brushstrokes fill the majority of the picture, giving the painting a wonderful sense of depth and complexity. The white layers over the tonal gradations of blue give the painting a luminosity – conveying the sense that certain areas of the snow are reflecting light from the sun above. To the right in the distance we see a set of farm houses, and to the left the picture is punctuated by 3 trees, painted in boldly.
The painting is housed in a mid century wood frame. The painting has some craquelure present to the left side, but the paint layer is stable overall. The frame has some age toning and general wear commensurate with age, and is also stable.

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.

An excellently executed semi abstract mid century portrait, painted in oil onto board.
The artist has used a vivid and bold colour palette, incorporating areas of thick impasto for added effect and three dimensionality.

There is an innocence to the way the artist has painted the figures, capturing the youth of the figures.

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)
