A large, expressive and serene panoramic view of a coastal scape, painted in oil onto canvas.
As our eyes shift from the top to the bottom of the painting, we can notice the colours intensifying – with lighter and calmer shades of blue and green filling the top half of the work, juxtaposed by rich and saturated colours in the bottom half. In addition to this, the brushstrokes similarly intensify – with softer sweeping stokes filling the top half, and short, swift and more textured brushstrokes at the bottom.
Overall, the painting exudes tranquillity and would make a statement piece in any interior with its large size.
This oil on canvas is housed in a wide profile gilt frame with an inner linen lining. There are very light and minor surface marks on the top half of the painting, but it is in good vintage condition overall.

A large and very picturesque mid century modernist landscape in oil, painted in 1948.
This panoramic winter landscape captures the stillness and crispness of winter. A tall tree punctuates the centre of the composition, its reflection cast in the still icy lake in front of it. A couple of houses can be seen perched on the top of the hill, and behind them a far reaching forest that draws our eyes deep into the picture and lends a sense of depth. The balance and harmony of this composition is very well done, and the artist clearly has a fine mastery of his medium.
The painting is housed in a beautiful silver and gilt frame with a narrow green tinted edge in between them. There is also an inner cream coloured slip. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The inner section of the frame (the slip) has some paint loss (as seen in close up), but this is in keeping with its overall look.

A large and brilliantly executed impressionist style oil composition, painted in 1981.

A mid century Swedish cityscape painted in oil onto board. Distinct and expressive brushstrokes convey the energy and hustle and bustle of the city. Rich, earthy, and textured colours in deep reds, blues and greens have been applied swiftly, creating a sense of depth and space in the picture. The artist has probably painted this ‘en plein air’ (outdoors), and so has captured the dynamism of the view before him/her.
The painted is housed a very complementary light wood mid century frame which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A stunning mid century modernist oil landscape painting depicting rows of houses at sunset.
The rooftops of the homes, painted with a layer of frosted white, have a thin layer of snow left unmelted despite the sun’s shining rays.
The artist has executed this artwork so confidently with powerful and visible brushstrokes, and the textured layers of paint create a sense of three dimensionality to the piece.
Additionally, the blazing sky painted in orange with an underlying layer of blue really picks up the colours of the homes wonderfully.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary thin white wooden frame. Both artwork and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A wonderfully executed sombre oil painting depicting two figures walking down a long open road, dated 1938.
The canvas is filled with expressive brushstrokes that have been executed confidently, in a restrained mellow colour palette.
The figures could almost be missed at first glance – their size pales in comparison to the vast lands and gloomy skies above them.
The painting could point to both the importance of human connection, as well as the insignificance of human life against the scale of the universe.
The painting is housed in a robust, heavy silver painted distressed wood frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some losses to the edges which have been painted over in silver and are thus inconspicuous unless closely inspected.

A striking mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.
In the centre of the composition we see thickly applied layers of paint and this area of impasto in grey and rust brown creates an initial focal point. The composition has a grid like effect, with layers of paint contrasting against each other in a myriad of ways. The crossed angles in which the paint has been applied create a distinct sense of depth to the painting, drawing our eyes further and further inward to discover the various layers. The lighter colours sit underneath the darker, earthier colours, giving it a luminous effect.
Although the picture does not depict anything identifiable, it is very expressive and emotional in its effect, created both through the colour palette as well as the gestural way in which the paint has been applied.
The painting is housed in a dark wood frame with a linen lined border. There are some age spots on the top left of the painting, but it is overall in good vintage condition. There are minor scuffs to the frame, commensurate with its age.

A dynamic and well-balanced mid century landscape painting, executed in oil.
Painted in an abstract manner, the work presents a panoramic view of a sunset over sand dunes in the vast desert.
The artist has selected a naturalistic palette comprising neutral shades of sand, tan, brown and beige. The overall colour scheme evokes tranquility. The colours harmonise beautifully , and the overlapping shades create depth within the painting.
Painterly and dynamic brushstrokes have been executed swiftly, wonderfully capturing the wind-swept sand across various directions in the desert, adding a lively and luminous touch to the work. Yet there is a softness to its overall feel.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. There is a very tiny pinhole mark to the lower left corner of the panting, and there is some scuffing to the top left edge of the inner section of the frame, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

An elegant and gentle still life painted in watercolour.
A teapot, a pitcher, a plate of fruits, and a garlic glove are laid on a table setting against a corner of a wall.
The artist has chosen a predominately subtle and light colour palette, but has painted the teapot and tomato in rich contrasting shades compared to the rest.
There is a great amount of detail in the work; and the delicate effects of the medium of watercolour enhances its overall softness.
This watercolour on paper is housed in a white wood frame, and a unique dark blue card mount that picks up the colours of the blue teapot wonderfully. The artwork is glazed (there is a sheet of plexiglass between the frame and the painting)

An atmospheric mid century modernist landscape composition, painted in oil onto board.
In this semi-abstract painting, some houses and a tree are set against a climatic backdrop.
The artist has wonderfully broken the atmospheric conditions into 3 sections. The top layer of the artwork resembles a sunset as it is painted in muted orange and we can spot some dark clouds. The middle layer of the painting presents a clear blue sky; and lastly, the bottom ground layer of the painting depicts a layer of snow or fog that has been executed in expressive brushstrokes in white.
This oil on board is housed in a beautiful deep profile champagne-coloured frame that further enhances the artwork. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has minor areas of scuff.

A vibrant and striking mid century oil painting depicting a group of bedouins gathering together and surrounded by lush greenery.
Painted in an expressionist manner, the artist has intentionally left out intricate details such as the facial features of the figures, and instead has chosen to focus on the harmony of colours, skilful brushstrokes as well as the balancing of shape and form.
Through the use of swift and confident brushstrokes, rich and vivid colours layer upon one another to reveal the respective forms, whilst creating an outstanding textural and lively feel to the piece.

A wonderfully rhythmic mid century abstract composition, painted onto board.
We get a distinct sense that the artist is painting a visual manifestation of a type of movement or motion. The artist has eliminated all naturalistic forms, concentrating instead on the trajectory and direction of the movements. The painting has a limited palette of white, black, grey and green, putting a stark emphasis on the synthesis that the artist achieves with the looped, flowing and intertwined curves. He is perhaps suggesting the passage of time as well as movement in space.
This acrylic on board is housed in its original silver frame with red undertones. There are minor stains on the top left on the painting, but the piece is in very good vintage condition overall. There are minor scuffs to the frame.

An intriguing double sided oil on board: one side depicts a pair of women looking into a book, and the other side features a striking single portrait of a woman.
The painting of the two ladies with the book is very textured, with multi directional and distinct brushstrokes creating a very dynamic and layered image. On the other side, the portrait of the woman is smoother in texture overall, but still has a very three dimensional effect. The woman has an air of mystery about her, leaving us wondering what she might be thinking about.
Painted onto board, both paintings are in very good vintage condition and can be displayed on either side. There is some slight paint loss to the very edges of the board but certainly does not detract from the overall charm of either picture. It could be displayed in its current state on an easel or leant against a shelf. Should you wish to have it framed and would like our assistance, you can contact us via email info@discerningpalette.com.
