    Sold

    SOLD

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very soothing and restful mid century landscape composition in oil, painted onto board.

    A winding river leads our eye deep into the picture, transporting us into this rural wintery landscape surrounded by nature, where pockets of snow rest quietly on the ground. In the distance we see a wooded landscape lining the horizon, with just the tops of the mountains peaking out from behind. The rising sun casts its pinkish – purple hue over the landscape, giving this picture its warm glow. The artist has skilfully captured the peaceful and tranquil feel of this rural landscape through the use of expressive brushwork and colour.

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

  • Country Path

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    An excellent mid century expressionist composition in oil, painted onto board.

    This expressive work features free brushwork as well as generous and textured paint application. Simple in composition yet complex in execution, the artist has swift and multi direction brushstrokes to create a sense of depth and space. This use of non naturalistic colour and dynamic paint application charges this painting with emotion – the artist has incorporated his own response to what he sees, capturing the ‘feel’ of the landscape.

    The striking painting is housed in light wood frame with gilt highlights that complements the painting very well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Blue Landscape

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore..

    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

  • Sunset View

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • The Wait

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • Country in Colour

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • Spanish Evening

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • Trees by Blue

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

    Size: 55 x 75 cm (including frame)

  • Vista

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    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.

  • Winter Boats

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • The Crossing

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A confidently executed and beautifully textured mid century landscape with reindeer, painted in oil onto board.

    This painting is both reminiscent of the post-impressionist style of artists like Van Gogh, as well as of Fauvist painters like  André Derain. It features thick, bold, undisguised brushstrokes in vibrant colours, and is very much a subjective, emotional response to the landscape (as opposed to just painting the landscape as realistically as possible). That being said, the artist has managed to strike a find balance between an emotional response and capturing the scene before him and how it looked. The combination of the texture and colouring of this painting makes it a stand out piece.

    The painting is also housed in an excellent castleton green frame with an inner white border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There are some losses to the lower section of the inner white border of the frame that are only visible upon close inspection. These losses do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • The Lane

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and very well executed modernist landscape in oil, painted in 1995.

    Simple in composition yet complex in execution, the artist has used large planes of contrasting colour to create a sense of depth and space in the picture. Layers of colour have been blended skilfully, giving the paintings its bright and luminous quality. The artist has chosen to focus on form, shape and line in this composition, bringing our attention to the way the different elements (the house, the trees, the field and the lane) play with each other and almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.

    This very satisfying oil painting is housed in a gilt frame which complements it very well. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. There is some light scuffing to the left side of the frame, as well as a small area of paint loss to the lower right corner of the frame (as seen in close up photo). Neither of these imperfections detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • Autumn Day

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    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.

    Size: 64 x 84 cm (including frame)

  • Beyond the Trees

    Sold

    SOLD.

    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.

  • White Winter

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore..

    A semi abstract mid century oil on canvas of a winter landscape, painted in 1957.

    In this painting the artist immediately draws our attention to the expansiveness of the snowy fields by dedicating two thirds of the composition to white, snow covered pasture. In the horizon was see a spread of farmhouses, whose scale is tiny compared to the vastness of the fields. There is a quietness and stillness to the painted scene, which has a very calming and restful effect.

    This oil on canvas has light scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint is in very stable condition. It is housed in its original mid-century silver frame with red undertones that that has light wear and minor scuffs, but in keeping with its overall look.

  • Winter Farm

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large picturesque and restful winter landscape composition in oil, painted in 1955.

    This mid century oil depicts a row of farmhouses in the centre of the composition, surrounded by snow covered land, and cloudy skies above. Gestural and textured brushstrokes fill the lower half of the picture, conveying the feel of fresh snow on the ground.  A three bar gate punctuates the right side of the picture, creating focus and direction for the viewer’s eye as well as a sense of balance to the overall image.

    The painting is beautifully framed in its original mid century wood frame, which features a protruding border in dark gilt. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some general wear commensurate with age, but is very stable overall.

  • Alpine

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A gorgeously expressive mid century landscape view in oil, painted in 1952 onto canvas.

    This painting succeeds wonderfully at bringing some of the outside in. The artist has used gestural, painterly brushstrokes to depict alpine trees standing tall with a blue sky beyond them.  The artist celebrates the medium of oil, using texture and movement to draw our attention to the physicality of the paint.

    This mid century piece would look wonderful in an interior space as a calming spot to rest one’s eyes on, reminding us of the cool and fresh air of the alpine forest.

    The painting is housed in a distressed off-white decorative frame. The painting is in excellent condition. The frame has some general wear but this is very much in keeping with its overall style.

  • Cedar

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A large and restful mid century oil landscape , painted onto board.

    A set of farmhouses sit within a large pastoral landscape with a wooded treeline in the distance, set under the golden light of the sun. The artist has captured a panoramic view of the landscape before him by dedicating a large proportion of the painted surface to the sky. The soft palette of cream and light blue set a wonderful contrast against the darker, earthier palette of the land below, where the artist has used rougher and more distinct brushstrokes to capture the effects of the elements on the pasture.

    The painting is housed within a simple thin gilt frame which illuminates the painting beautifully. The painting has a tiny area of surface paint loss (please refer to the close up photo) which is visible upon close inspection but does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. Otherwise, both frame and painting are in very good vintage condition.

  • Coastal Rocks

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A charming and picturesque modernist style oil painting, presenting a coastal landscape composition of rock formation and greenery by the sea.

    Executed in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has simplified forms to down to distinct coloured shapes and expressive brushstrokes . The rich and lively earthy colours harmonise wonderfully together, and also demonstrate a sense of depth and width to the painting.

    This oil on board is housed in a lovely grainy light wood frame that complements the painting very well. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Flock of Sheep

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A calm and gorgeous mid 20th century oil painting depicting a flock of sheep in a nature.

    The soft pastel and earthy pastel colours create an air of serenity; and the precise and lightly textured brushstrokes imbue the painting with a tinge of vitality.

    Overall, the varying shades and brushstrokes in this work flow impeccably –  leading our eyes gently from the foreground where the sheep are huddled together, to the background where the vast open land, mountains and blue sky lie beyond in the horizon.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a grey frame with an inner gilt window that complements the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Houses on a Hill

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A wonderfully textured mid-century landscape oil painting, depicting a row of houses on a hill top.

    Largely abstract in composition, the artist focuses on colour contrasts to create a sense of depth and space and has used blocks of muted subdued tones including shades of taupe and green to form this composition.

    Upon closer inspection of the painting,  we can notice how layers of colours have been skilfully and thoughtfully applied – using cobalt blue as the starting undertone colour on the right, and burnt orange on the left.

    The artist has also used the impasto technique, using broad and expressive brushstrokes to create thick and creamy layers of paint to form a raw textural and three-dimensional effect.

    Furthermore, there is a layer of varnish that coats the surface of the painting. This gives it a layer of shine, enhancing its aesthetic appeal whilst acting as a layer of protection to the artwork.

    This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original champagne gold frame that has areas of marks commensurate with its age.

    Do note that some glare is evident in the photograph due to the varnish on the picture.

  • In the Woods

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A wonderfully expressive mid century oil on canvas, depicting a lush wooded landscape.

    Bold, painterly brushstrokes capture the effects of the elements on the landscape – we get a sense of a light wind blowing through the trees, their branches swaying side to side, the leaves rustling as they go. The artist has used rich, vivid colours to capture the array of hues and shades of the woods. A lighter palette ahs been used for the top half of the picture, where the tree canopy is more exposed to the light of the sky. As we move further down the picture, a deeper, darker, earthier palette has  been used to depict lush depths of the woods and the forest floor.

    This oil painting is housed in a wood frame with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Meadow

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A rich and earthy mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas, and framed in a very complementary gilt frame.

    Broad, distinct, and painterly brushstrokes have been applied to the canvas to create this almost abstract landscape scene. There are elements of this painting that are very much reminiscent of the Modernist painter Paul Cezanne. Although this piece has moved closer towards abstraction, it carries the similar traits of repetitive, exploratory brushstrokes that Cezanne had in his pictures. Here the artist has also used planes of colour and small brushstrokes that build up to form complex fields. There is also great vigour and energy in this painting.

    It is housed in a simple gilt frame that illuminates the painting. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some scuffs mainly to the lower section. There is some wear to the bottom edge of the frame.

  • Pontoon

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A semi-abstract mid century geometric painting in oil, dated 1954.

    Here the artist has captured an industrial marine structure, the pontoon crane. The artist has flattened the composition into sections of flat coloured planes, as well as dark angular lines. Through the use of these geometric shapes and lines, the artist has conveyed the ‘industrial’ sense of the scene through these formal qualities, rather than through a realistic depiction of the crane, pontoon and harbour buildings. This is very much a modernist ethos, where artists painting in this period were incorporating the aesthetic of the ‘machine’ and other industrialist activities into their art.

    This oil painting is housed in a robust solid wood frame, which suits it very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The oak frame has some general scuffing and a small indent to the left and right edges (as seen in photos) but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • The Tree Line

    Sold

    Free UK Shipping Only.

    A very expressive but restful landscape scene in oil, painted in 1977.

    This piece is excellently executed, with skilful blending of post impressionist colour to create this landscape composition. Creamy, textured areas of paint have been layered and blended, encouraging our eyes to dance around the canvas and soak up the painterly details. The subject of the composition is wonderful to rest tired eyes on – a tree lined path in the rural countryside leads into the horizon, with clear skies up above. There is a sense that the artist might have been painting ‘en plein air’, capturing an emotional response to the landscape, as opposed to realistically depicting it.

    The painting is housed in a dark wood frame with an inner gilt window that really brings out its colours. The painting would make a fabulous statement piece in a living room or bedroom. The painting is in very good condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs but this certainly does not detract from its overall appeal.

  • Urbanscape

    Sold

    Free Shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A very well executed mid century townscape painted in oil onto board.

    The artist has eliminated all details and has reduced the forms of the buildings down into simple yet very effective planes of colour. Although the application of colour appears to be casual and loose at first glance, further observation reveals that this composition has indeed been very carefully and thoughtfully structured and put together. Loose strokes of vertical and horizontal planes of colour come together seamlessly to create this town view.

    The painting is housed in its gorgeous mid century frame, which has a really lovely woven border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
