A fantastic large mid century Swedish oil on canvas, painted in 1957. The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos, with the artist focusing on colour contrasts to create a sense of depth and space. A woman can be seen in the forefront with her washing tub, and behind her sit a geometric array of buildings. The artist has paid great attention to form, line and shape, and has made a conscious decision not to focus on realistic details.
This oil on canvas is housed in a reverse profile distressed dark wood frame with an inner white window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An excellent mid century oil by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1959. Depicting a woman seated on a chair surrounded by objects including a jug, this painting has been executed in a semi-abstract style with cubist influences.
Thoughtful and elegant brushstrokes with subtle blending, as well as a muted earthy colour palette of blues, browns and beige fill the canvas. The artist has skilfully abstracted down this scene through the use of contrasting blocks of colours that not only harmonise well together to give rise to the various forms, but to also demonstrate a strong sense of depth in this painting.
This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is framed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen lined border.

A really stunning mid century Swedish still life in oil, painted in 1944. This bright and cheery picture has been painted in an expressionist manner, with lively and distinct brushstrokes in a beautiful harmony of colours. The tall vase of pink florals capture our initial attention, and as our eyes move downwards we begin to notice the gorgeous set of apples in the lower half of the picture. The artist has chosen to paint these in ‘post impressionist’ style, choosing non naturalistic colours which really make them stand out. The colourful flowers and apples have been set against a pastel blue and purple background, which really pulls the whole still life composition together.
The painting is housed in a gorgeous distressed sand coloured distressed wood frame with an inner white border, which matches the character and style of the painting perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A richly textured floral painting in oil featuring a warm, earthy palette. It depicts a tall vintage vase with purple tulips and other lilac and white flowers standing on a window sill. The artist has chosen to use a painterly, modernist style to compose this image – using thick, distinct layers of paint and expressive brushstrokes. The painting has several areas of impasto (areas where the paint has been applied thickly and stands proud from the surface) which give this painting a wonderful tactility.
The painting is set within a decorative wood frame that has been painted and distressed in white, adding a uniqueness to the painting. The frame and painting have been fixed onto board, which can be seen on the reverse (refer to photos). Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A wonderfully painted modernist composition of a female nude figure, skilfully executed in oil in 1942. The model is portrayed in a home setting, seated on a bench against a sanguine and green background. With her gaze facing away from the viewer, she is unaware and caught up in her own thoughts.
Expressive and swift brushstrokes have been executed in a confident manner. The artist demonstrates a deep understanding of the relationship of colours, and also of the human body. Not only has he captured the curves of her anatomy wonderfully, but has also mixed and layered the various earthy tones to render the complex nature of skin perfectly and with great emotion.
This oil on canvas is in good vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary wood frame lined with linen and an inner white border. The mid century frame has signs of ageing that are typical for its age, but these imperfections add to the charm of the piece.

A charming modernist painting in oil of a figure by a table. The artist has used large, flat planes of colour to create this composition. Realistic details have been intentionally left out, and focus has instead been paid attention to form, shape and colour. Interestingly, the artist has chosen to paint the tulips in a much more realistic manner, creating a distinct contrast and pop of colour against the rest of the more angular, flat composition.
The painting is housed in a gorgeous dark wood and gilt frame, with an inner linen slip. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

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 bold and striking still life that displays confidence in both colour and brushstrokes.
A white jug is placed amongst apples on a table top, and is set against an eye-catching background painted in a mix of blues including turquoise and cerulean blue. The overall colours used in this painting are very uplifting, and can brighten one’s home and mood.
Executed in oil pastel, and the artist has embraced various techniques of mixing, smudging and blending the colours with speed and vigour.
This artwork in particular is reminiscent of still life scenes of fruits from Paul Cezanne.
There is a fold that runs through the middle of this artwork on paper (as shown), which although visible, adds an ‘expressiveness’ to the work which is in line with the almost naïve style that the artist has used.
It is housed in a white card mount and a unique blue and pewter frame; and comes glazed (there is a layer of plexiglass between the frame and the artwork).

A soothing miniature abstract painting executed in oil, painted in 1964. This artist has used elements of abstraction to depict what appears to be a cityscape of buildings, with hints of greenery in the foreground, although this is a subjective interpretation.
Although the contrasting colour blocks of muted pastel tones of sand, grey, taupe imbue the with a sense of calm, the artist’s use of swift and energetic brushstrokes invigorate this work with subtle liveliness.

A magnificent oil still life of well decorated table setting. Placed atop a green platform lies an assortment of objects ranging from a vase of beautiful sunflowers, 2 lemons, a pot filled with paintbrushes, a book, and a bottle.
Painted in a vibrant colour palette, the layering of contrasting colours blend so harmoniously and effortlessly. Another striking factor is the short and textured brushstrokes that have been confidently executed, imbuing the work with a sense of three dimensionality and distinct tactility.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a distressed wooden frame with an outer gilt window. The frame has many areas of paint loss commensurate for its age (as shown in the pictures), but this does not detract from the painting and if anything adds to its character.

A soft and lovely work of art rendered in oil, dated 1954.
A group of men are depicted carrying bags of sand on their head, as they transport the goods from one end of a terrain to the next.
The artist has executed the work with gentle brushstrokes; and the selection of the neutral earthy colour palette consisting of green, purple blue and clay imbues the work with a subdued feel of lightness.
The painting is in good condition overall. There are tiny pin holes and losses to the edges on both sides of the painting (as depicted in the images), but in our opinion this does not detract from the work.
It is housed in a very complementary grainy wood frame that is in excellent vintage condition.

We have here a really unique piece that has been painted in oil on both front and back, both still lifes equally stunning. The artist has applied the vibrant tones in an expressive and dynamic manner, accentuating the patterning to the wall and table cloth. This heightens the texture and form of the composition giving the painting an impressionistic and nostalgic feel. There is an additional study on the reverse, showing a breakfast spread complete with butter, rolled napkin and open book.
This vintage painting has accrued patina and areas of losses and scuffing (as seen in the photos) from its journey thus far, but we think it really adds character to the painting(s).
The painting is unframed and is on board, and can be displayed without a frame (allowing you to be flexible about which side you choose to display), but should you wish assistance with framing we are always happy to help. You can drop us a message here or email us at info@discerningpalette.com

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 quaint and lovely Swedish mid century still life, painted in oil. Potted floral pots sit on a kitchen window sill, with a backdrop of a snowy street scape with a vivid red building. The artist alludes to the fact that it is warm and cosy inside by including the thermometer that sits on the right side, juxtaposing this against the cold landscape outside of the window. There is a distinct homeliness and cosiness to this painting, created by both the subject matter as well as the colour palette.

Painted in 1959, this seascape in oil has a typically mid century modern feel. Geometric shapes rendered in warm tones of red, blue, and grey form this compositionally balanced nautical seascape. Bold brushwork and palette make up the foreground of the piece, with the paint getting thinner and cooler in tone as it recedes into the background, even allowing the substrate to show through in areas. There is a real tactile quality to this almost abstract painting.

An outstanding oil painting that explores the concepts of minimalism and abstraction.
The artwork depicts a group of sheep situated in between 2 large trees in an orangey yellow landscape setting, where all forms presented are spontaneously outlined in thin black lines.
Upon first glance, this work may be recognised for its childlike simplicity. However as we take time to explore the painting further, we notice that the artist has thoughtfully chosen to eliminate non essentials – focusing our attention to the beautiful essence of colour as well as the qualities of lines that may come across as simplistic but inherently powerful enough to give rise to forms.
This oil on canvas is housed in a grey frame that complements the painting wonderfully. Both artwork and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

A stunning mid century Swedish oil on board, painted in 1964. A group of 3 bedouins sit to the right, with a single standing figure forming the focus of the composition to the right. In a typically modernist style, the artist has abstracted both the figures and the landscapes, using blocks of contrasting colour to create depth and a sense of space. The striking blue of the figures’ headscarves and robes contrast beautifully against the sandy browns and greys of the desert landscape. There is a wonderful stillness to the piece which adds to its striking composition.
The painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame with an inner fabric lined window. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A fantastic miniature still life portrait, executed in oil.
Depicting a middle aged man dressed in a blue coat seated on a chair, the artist has consciously chosen not to represent his facial features. The power of faceless portraits allows one to shift focus to explore more within the frame such as the brushstrokes, colours and composition. In this case, the light and cool colours used as well as the smooth brushstrokes are reflective and well-aligned to the man’s calm and composed nature.
This oil on board is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in a complementary gilt frame with red undertones, that is overall in good condition.

A really unique semi-abstract oil painting of a hare in an autumnal landscape. One could be forgiven for missing the hare on first glance, as it almost blends into the grassy landscape. The artist has managed to convey the reality of catching a fleeting sight of a hare leaping through the grassy meadow – one blink and you’ll miss the little creature. Expressive brushstrokes in earthy colours of orange, rusty browns and reds, and greys and greens form the majority of the picture, with the stunningly painted hare starkly in the middle – its white ears and tail stand out from the background, drawing our attention lest we miss it.
The painting is housed in an simple wood frame, which suits it wonderfully. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame appears to have had some restoration work done to upper left and lower left corners, as shown in the photos.
