  • Barn Houses

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An outstanding and very confidently executed modernist style landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1957.

    This landscape scene is punctuated by 2 barn houses – one in dark shades of browns on the left, and one painted white with dark outlines on the right, set against lush greenery.

    Painted in a semi abstract manner and with rich earthy colours, swift and powerful brushstrokes dominate the canvas to form this very striking and lightly textured composition.

    The painting is housed in a beautiful mid century frame that has a hessian lined border and an additional gilt window. There is some very slight age toning to the hessian section on the frame, commensurate with age and in keeping with the overall look. The artwork is in excellent vintage condition.

  • Family

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A modernist oil on canvas depicting a family on a walk, painted in 1980.

    Painted with a typically modernist ethos, all realistic details have been condensed down into flat planes of colour that give the illusion of three dimensionality. Featuring elements of cubism, the artist has used blocks of colour that have been outlined distinctly to create this unique composition. We are still able to discern a group of figures (2 adults and three children) walking along a what appears to be a coastal landscape. The artist’s skilful use of formal elements such as colour, shape and line enable us to make sense of this scene despite the elimination of all realistic details. The way in which the artist has applied the layers of paint has created textured impasto, adding further depth to the composition.

    This oil painting is housed in its original gilt frame which complements it wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Houses in Winter

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed mid century modernist street scene, painted in oil onto board and dated 1955.

    The painting depicts a scenic neighbourhood where rows of different coloured houses are neatly lined up. Painted on the surrounding streets and in the distance are areas of white that resemble snow, alluding to the winter season.

    Using a lively colour palette comprising shades of green, orange and brown, the artist has reconstructed this composition into blocks of contrasting colours that have been defined by thin green outlines, drawing our attention to their individual form and shape.

    The colours in this painting harmonise beautifully, and together with the painterly and lightly-textured brushstrokes, there is an uplifting feel to this artwork.

    This oil on board is housed in a wood frame with visible grain and an inner white window that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

This geometric grid composition is reminiscent of modernist artists like Piet Mondrian, who also created patterns with syncopated rhythms.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A soothing mid century lake landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.

    Soft pastel colours have been applied in an expressive manner, creating a composition of a calming lake scene. There is almost a watercolour-like effect, where the artist has managed to very skilfully capture the reflective nature of the water. The artist has also captured the effect of light and movement in the landscape, giving us the sense that he has painted the picture ‘en plein air’ (the practice of painting a picture outdoors).

    The painting is housed in a simple wood frame which complements it beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A vivid and confidently executed large mid century modernist interior scene, painted in oil onto canvas.

    This quaint interior composition has an array of wonderful details and patterns – two paintings sit on a vivid red wall, and in front of that is a table covered in a red striped tablecloth, with two chairs next to it.

  • Study of a Standing Nude

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A fantastic modernist style portrait, painted in oil and dated 1964.

    A nude figure is depicted standing on a muted pink platform and against a calming blue background. With her gaze slightly turned, she is back-facing the viewer and caught unaware.

    The artist demonstrates a great aptitude for painting the female body, as he skillfully captures the curves and angles of the figure.

    He has also used artistic techniques of shading and shadowing. These not only add the illusion of depth and three-dimensionality to the painting, but to direct our eyes as the viewer to the focal point of the work.

  • The Crowd

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and confidently executed mid century semi abstract modernist composition in oil, painted onto canvas.

    In this scene we see four main figures amongst a blur of people – the artist has left out realistic details, and focused instead on colour, form and texture. Broad, gestural brushstrokes in non representational colours fill the canvas, creating this expressionist composition. There is a distinct sense of movement in the background, with the 4 figures standing out within it, almost as if it could be a recollection of a memory or dream.

    The surface is heavily textured, with areas of heavy impasto where the paint has been very thickly applied.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame, with an inner linen lined border. There is some minor craquelure to the painting (as shown in close ups), due to the thickness of the paint. But the paint layer is stable overall. There is some minor scuffing to the frame. Neither of these signs of ageing detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

  • The Yellow Chair

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A simple but very intriguing modernist composition in oil, painted into canvas and dated 1970.

    This expressionist painting has transformed what would normally be a mundane object (a chair) into a very striking vision. The empty chair is given pride of place in the forefront of the composition, painted in a bright yellow colour. Set against a whitewashed wall, this contrast again emphasises the chair and its striking yellow. There is also a very interesting juxtaposition between the decorative and regal looking door or window which is adorned with flowers and gilding, next to the simple and functional rustic chair.

    This playful painting is set within a simple wood frame which suits it very well. Both frame and painting are in good vintage condition.

  • Waterfall

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A very confidently executed mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1964.

    This distinctly expressionist piece is characterised by free, gestural brushwork, and the paint application is generous and highly textured. Each area of colour appears distinct but yet flows seamlessly into the next, creating this very harmonious composition. The painting has a lot of depth, with several areas of impasto, where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface.

    Although its subject appears to be entirely abstract, there is a sense that the natural landscape is the source of inspiration.

    The painting is housed in a very unique and textured grey frame which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Outcrop

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A quiet, calming mid century modernist landscape, painted in oil onto canvas.

    In this restful scene we see a rocky outcrop to the right, a rock stream down below, and greenery all around. Nestled between the greenery is a house, whose top half we can just see peeking out. The artist has used broad brushstrokes with areas of texture, giving this painting its sense of depth. The angular lines of the forms of the outcrop juxtapose wonderfully with a softer, more rounded forms of the greenery.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with several windows, efficiently drawing our attention inward towards the painting. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffing, typical for its age. Please note that there is some glare present  in the close up photos, the colours are rich and not faded at all when viewed in person and not through a camera.

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large and very vivid and striking mid century modernist still life in oil, painted onto canvas.

  • Triptych

    Sold

    Free UK, Europe and Singapore shipping.

    A mid century abstract modernist composition in oil, painted in 1950.

    This striking abstract composition features a very loose relationship to the visible world. Instead, it forces the viewer to focus on the qualities of form, line, colour, brushwork and composition.

    What loosely appears to be an interior scene has been schematised and simplified into geometric shapes and gestural marks. Yet even though it is largely divorced from recognisable reality, the forms within this picture are still expressive and have the power to stir aesthetic emotion.

    The painting is housed in a simple light wood frame that suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

  • Dockside

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully ambient and atmospheric mid century modernist landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.

    To the foreground of the composition, a set of railway tracks create a sense of depth and lead our eyes inwards into the picture, where we are met by a set of shipping cranes. To the left of the composition we see a ship docked, and figures underneath the crane. The artist has used a restrained colour palette, focusing on an array of blues, greens and greys to create this wonderfully misty and moody scene. He has used blocks of colours and bold outlines to create the forms and shapes within the picture that give the picture its depth. We get a sense that it is early morning by the harbourside, before the fog has lifted.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning  linen lined frame with an inner window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Green Land

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully expansive and panoramic mid century oil, painted onto board.

    A row of farmhouses lines the lower section of the picture, followed by fields above that pan out in to the distant horizon. We get a sense that the fields are never-ending, and that this calming scene before us goes on undisturbed for miles and miles.

    The artist has used a restrained colour palette, reserving the bolder greens and browns for the lower section of the picture, then getting increasingly lighter as he moves up the picture, until the sky which mimics the lightest greens of the fields.

    There is a palpable sense of serenity and restfulness with this picture – the type of feeling you get when you’re out in the rural countryside, away from the hustle and bustle of city life..

    This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid-century silver frame, that illuminates the painting. There are minor areas of scuff on the frame.

    This piece would look wonderful in a nursery or a children’s room.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some general wear and overall signs of ageing, but nothing that detracts from the overall attractiveness of the painting.

There is a sincerity to the painting’s simplicity, both in vision and in execution. It’s ‘Naïve’ character captures what many modernists seek –  to move away from what they see as the insincere sophistication of art created within the traditional system.

  • The Quarry

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A beautifully executed mid century modernist semi-abstract landscape composition, painted in 1951.

    This large oil abounds with depth and texture. Layers of rich pigments have been applied in an array of multidirectional brushstrokes. Each stroke stands out from the other, and yet together they combine to make a perfectly harmonious composition.

    The painting is housed in a deep profile champagne coloured wood frame, which brings out the colours in the painting perfectly and has an illuminating effect without being at all overbearing.

    A large and striking mid century modernist semi abstract still life in oil, painted in 1955.

    Large and gestural sweeping brushstrokes contrast against thin, angular outlines in black. 2 bottles in the middle ground are discernible, alluding to the fact that the scene pictured before us is a still life of objects on a table. The artist employs some cubist elements too, flattening out the scene and incorporating multiple views to create this abstracted and fragmented scene.

    The painting is housed in a painted wood frame, with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.
