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.

A timeless and subtle vintage oil portrait of a nude, executed onto board and dated 1943.
The painting depicts a woman seated on a raised brown platform. With her hands placed behind her, it almost seems as though she is balancing herself on it.
Although her facial features are not discernibly painted, there is a sense that she is deep in thought.
This classic oil portrait features painterly and expressive brushstrokes that have been thoughtfully executed. The artist has used a soft and restrained muted palette that reflects the calm, tender mood of the setting.
This oil on board is housed in a distressed frame with a moulded inner border , and the colours pair wonderfully with the painting. The painting has a small area of paint loss to the lower left section by the figure’s hand (as shown in close ups), but the painting and frame are in very good condition otherwise.

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. Atop the table we see a range of objects, including a tray of jugs and a vase of flowers. Interestingly, the two chairs face the us (the viewers), creating a picture that seems to invite us in to join the jolly that is about to begin.
This expressionist and richly coloured painting is housed is in its original mid-century wide profile frame that pairs beautifully with the painting.

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.
This oil on canvas is housed in a stunning grainy wood frame with a double silver window and an inner linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A large and very vivid and striking mid century modernist still life in oil, painted onto canvas.
Painted in a cubist style, this piece features hard edged shapes in saturated colour. A perfume bottle, a potted plant with a single flower and an apple sit atop a mirrored table. Using a range of non representation colours, the artist has highlighted the forms and shadows of the objects. Broad and distinct brushwork give this painting an expressive and very dynamic feel.
The colours and style of this painting would certainly make it a statement piece in any interior.

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.

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.

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.

A large and delightful mid century modernist composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
This picturesque neighbourhood scene depicts a narrow street running through quaint and distinct red houses, set against a scenic landscape view of hills and mountains in the background. A little figure can be seen in the foreground of the painting, cycling through the village street.
The artist has used very fine brushstrokes to create a smooth, even finish, imbuing the painting with a sense of playfulness and frankness. 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.

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 artist has painted the landscape in a distinctly expressive and painterly style, encouraging us to enjoy every brushstroke and the creamy layers that have been applied, while still capturing the essence of the rich natural landscape.
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.

A very well executed and distinctly mid century modernist oil composition, painted onto board.
With cubist tendencies, the artist has fragmented the scene into a series of curved shapes and lines, almost as though we are looking at the scene through broken glass. The structure of the nets that the fishermen are laying out continues into clothes of the men as well as the surrounding sea and sky. This modernist ethos focuses on formal qualities such as shape, line, form, colour and pattern. The recurring lines and patterns make it fun to spot particular details that could easily go unnoticed unless observed closely, such as the birds in the sky as well as the boats to the left of the composition.
The painting is housed in a lovely wood frame with visible grain. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

In this still life composition, a pipe, a bottle and a glass sit alongside a bowl of oranges on a dark blue surface, and with a colourful striped curtain hanging behind them.

This gouache on paper is set behind glass and within a card mount in a dark gilt frame with several inner windows. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has scuffing to its edges.

A skilfully executed scenic road landscape composition, executed in oil in 1962.
There is a charming contrast between the top and bottom half of the painting. In the background – we see lush forestry in the distance set against moody and darker tones. On the other hand, the foreground of the painting has an array of colourful earthy shades and has more lively atmosphere.

A large and playful mid century British modernist oil composition of several figures on the metro in Paris, painted onto artist’s board.
The colourful composition has a fun, childlike quality to it that makes it a joy to look at. Although seemingly simple and ‘naive’ at first glace, it is in fact a very well executed painting. The composition and use of colours is perfectly balanced, and very satisfying to look at. Despite the lack of realistic details or colouring, we very quickly understand what we’re looking at. The artist has captured an everyday scene of rush hour on the Metro, but has incorporated a wonderful expressionist style to the piece.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lined border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing to its edges.

A large and brilliantly executed modernist style figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas.
Set against a soothing lighter coloured background, the composition of the painting is punctuated by a group of tall figures in bold and striking colours walking by.
Painted in an abstract manner, the figures have been simplified and abstracted down to geometric shapes, painterly brushstrokes, and rich colours.
Expressive gestural brushstrokes fill the canvas, and the artist displays and an excellent use of colour. Although working with a limited palette including reds, yellow and orange, he has skilfully applied and layered lighter and darker hues of each colour to create a harmonious, lively and well-balanced painting.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. There are some minor scattered areas of craquelure across the painting commensurate with its age, but the paint layer is in stable condition overall.
