    £525

    Available

    Free shipping to UK, Europe and Singapore.

    A mid-century modernist style figurative painting that depicts a nude female figure by a bathtub, executed in oil onto canvas.

    The subject is captured from the back, partially turned, evoking an intimate moment. Her posture suggests relaxation, and the towel she holds adds a subtle narrative, hinting at either preparation for or completion of bathing.

    Modernist in its ethos with abstract qualities, there is a focus on the interaction between colour and form as opposed to realistic details. Through the use of a restrained palette and expressive brushwork, the artist has skilfully deconstructed the subject and background into simplified planes and shapes.

    The colour palette is cool and harmonious, dominated by shades of blues, white and peach. These colours establish a serene and tranquil atmosphere.

    The brushwork is loose and painterly, with visible strokes that emphasise light texture and movement. The background is rendered in an abstract manner, with vertical strokes wonderfully blending into one another.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs.

  • On the Red Chair

    Sold

  • Affection

    Sold

    SOLD

    A tender and captivating mid-century figurative painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1944.

    A female figure in a flowing red dress that is seated is the focal point of the composition and first captures our attention.

The bodies of the woman and baby meld together, forming a harmonious unity and symbolising the timeless bond between mother and child. They are set against vibrant orange and yellow hues with subtle hints of green and blue in the backdrop.

    Painted in a semi-abstract manner, the artist has omitted all realistic details and has also deliberately omitted the facial features of the figures. The use of painterly and expressive brushstrokes executed with vigour and confidence adds a beautiful textural quality to the painting, and the rich and vibrant colours heightens the emotionally charged atmosphere.

    This oil on board comes unframed. The painting has some paint losses to the edges of board, but this would be hidden by a frame.

  • Seated

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A brilliantly executed and characterful modernist figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.

    The painting features an elongated figure seated on an orange and cream platform, set against a contrasting purple-grey backdrop. Containing elements of abstraction, the painting captures the essence of the human form through expressive brushstrokes, rich muted colours, and a reduction of realistic details.

    The figure, has been rendered in creamy tones with expressive hints of muted blue, purple, and pink, and its elongated and seated form suggests a contemplative state. Through skilfully layering of colours, the artist has exposed the underlying grey that delicately traces the silhouette of the figure, enhancing its presence and providing a subtle sense of structure amidst the abstract composition.

    This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary purple frame that pairs wonderfully with the painting. There is a very small area of craquelure to the figure, as shown in close up photos, but this is commensurate with age and does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

  • Soul

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An absolutely brilliant mid century nude study, painted in oil and dated 1944.

    In this composition a female figure sits on an intricate fabric, her gaze turned away from us. The minimalist palette of her body sits in contrast to the richly coloured fabric below her, creating a wonderful juxtaposition. The artist’s brushstrokes are long and expressive, giving this piece its painterly feel.

    Although we don’t know the story behind this painting, the inscription on the reverse which translates to ‘My first and greatest love’ hints at the figure’s significance to the artist and imbues the painting with so much more meaning.

    The painting is housed in a really lovely deep profile frame which suits it wonderfully. The painting has some light age marks and the frame has some scuffing, but neither of these detract from the attractiveness of the piece.

  • Studio Nude

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An excellently executed mid century nude composition, painted in oil onto canvas.

    The artist’s use of colour to create depth and contrast, his expressive and painterly brushwork, and the placement of each brushstroke and how it fits into the composition, are a showcase of his technical and artistic mastery. The composition is wonderfully balanced, with the perfect amount of negative space. A rich colour palette applied in long, broad brushstrokes draw our eye to the nude first. We explore the figure – angular and multidirectional brushstrokes that seem effortlessly applied have in fact been considered carefully, creating just the right amount of light and shade. The artist has left out realistic details of the figure’s body, and yet his allusions through the use of colour leave us perfectly content in knowing what we are looking at it – a fine example of his mastery with his medium and colour. The figure is set against rectangular blocks of colour which tease us into exploring the objects around the figure, while providing balance and harmony within the composition.

    The painting is in very good vintage condition and is unframed. It can be hung as is, or set in a new frame. There is a lining around the edges of the stretcher from the previous frame which has worn over time (as shown in close ups), but this can be easily removed.

  • Grace

    Sold

    SOLD.

    An intriguing and very confidently executed large oil on canvas, painted in 1987 by female Swedish artist Marianne Kanter, who monogram can be seen in the top left corner.

    On first glance the painting seems almost voyeuristic – we see the backs of two men staring at the undressed female figure. As we take the time to study the painting, in particular the female figure, we begin to notice her expression – she stares directly at us with an enigmatic gaze, completely aware of her position in the room and the attention she holds, both from us as well as the male figures we see. Her confidence is unmissable. Notably, the painting is by a female artist (Marianne Kanter). Could it be that this painting was a comment on the ‘male gaze’, a term coined a few years before in the 70s? We might never know the answer for sure, but it certainly makes the painting a beguiling and intriguing one.

    This large oil on canvas is presented in a very complementary slim frame that suits it perfectly. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

  • Nude Study

    Sold

    SOLD.

    A large, richly coloured mid century nude study oil, painted in 1949.  There is a palpable sense of ‘ease’ to the nude figure, who sits relaxed in her chair – her face and body are relaxed, with no ounce of stiffness present. Her surroundings too are homely and warm – a flower pot sits by the window with the curtain drawn open, letting the natural light in.

    The artist has painted skilfully and confidently, using a rich, saturated colour palette to paint this expressive study, and has included areas of impasto (where the painted thickly such that it stands proud from the surface)  to add texture and depth.

    The painting is housed in its original mid century dark bronze wood frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.
