SOLD.
A pleasant and well-executed mid 20th century still life in oil, depicting a group of objects on a table including a glass of purple flowers, a plate, and apples.
This painting emphasises the beauty of still life, where a group of everyday objects that are normally ignored are placed centre stage, forcing us to look and notice their shape, form and colour. Here the artist has juxtaposed contrasting colours to create a sense of depth and space. The broad and expressive brushstrokes add an element of tactility to the painting as well. Overall, there is a wonderful luminous and diaphanous quality to the painting.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a cream coloured linen border. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.
Size: 44 x 53 cm (including frame)

The painting is housed in a unique distressed bronze frame, with an inner linen lined window. There is some wear to the upper left corner of the painting as shown in the close up. The frame has some general signs of ageing.

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 small but brilliantly executed mid century abstract still life in oil, by Swedish artist Ivar Morsing, painted in 1956. A bold and vivid palette of black, yellow and green give this picture its punch. Contrasting blocks of saturated colour have been applied to the surface, illustrating the artist’s cubist influences, which he is most known for. This gorgeous semi-abstract painting in oil would certainly stand out in any interior, whether traditional or modern.
The painting is housed in a dark grey tray frame which suits the style and palette of the painting very well. The painting has some slight losses to the outer edges (as shown in photos), but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

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.

A small yet very striking mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto board.
In this well-executed and detailed work of art, there is a strong focus on colours, shapes and form.
Using a muted earthy colour palette, the artist has thoughtfully used contrasting blocks of colours to illustrate two jugs set against a similarly-coloured background. The differing shades help to create a sense of space as well as make the three-dimensionality of the objects more pronounced.
Fine and smooth brushstrokes have been used, and in addition to the stunning colours, there is a sense of warmth and gentleness instilled in the painting.
This oil on board is housed in a mid century wood frame with an inner linen lining. There are some marks and minor paint loss at the top of the painting (as it might have been reframed), however the work is in very good vintage condition overall. There are some very minor age spots to the frame.

SOLD.
A soothing and elegant mid 20th century still life executed in oil, where a group of fruits including an apple, orange, 3 pears as well as a blue vase are depicted atop a green surface.
A rich and lively palette including blues and greens have been used to paint the objects, as they sit against a beautiful peach backdrop filled with multiple undertones. The artist displays his painterly skills by using different hues of each shade and blending them well together to achieve a sense of three-dimensionality for each object.
The painting has been well-executed in an expressionist manner – with dynamic and detailed brushstrokes lending the artwork an impressive visual and vibrant appeal.
This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a well-suited light wood frame, and there is a very small area of surface paint loss to the the right edge of the frame, but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness and is in lined to its vintage feel.

A quirky mid century modernist still life oil composition, painted onto board in 1964.
This still life features odd angles and skewed perspective, asking us to look and look again. The composition carries many little playful details that are fun to explore and discover. Everything about its layout is somewhat stilted and skewed, for example the table sits at an angle where technically everything should slide off it, and the table is not quite rectangular. The shadows of the objects don’t quite fit either. The floor boards that sit below the table are in a different colour at every section, representing the way the light hits the floor differently. The top edge of the window sits at an angle that is not in line with the curtain rod above. Very interestingly, out the window we see a wall that has a arched shape exit where we can see the view of the seascape beyond. There are more details to discover, but all in all this surreal still life carries so many interesting features that are a delight.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame with a winner linen lined border. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A very large and very well executed mid century modernist interior composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
Flat planes of colour in a myriad of angles create this very distinctly modernist interior. The traditional method of using perspective to create depth has been intentionally ignored, with the artist focusing instead on using complementary colours and geometric shapes to create a sense of space. The artist has very interestingly concentrated these formal qualities on the surfaces of the interior and its background, but has painted the objects portrayed within the interior in a much more detailed manner. The vase of flowers on the table with the bottles as well a the chair carry a different and more detailed style, which contrasts very well with the more angular shapes of the floor, walls and the view that continues outside.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame and with an inner linen lined border. The painting has some small areas of paint loss, as shown in close ups, but these do not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece. The frame has some losses to its edges, as shown.

A large and very expressive mid century floral still life composition in oil, painted in 1941.
Reminiscent of still lifes by the well known painter Vincent Van Gogh, this floral oil also features similar characteristics such as the vibrant contrasts of complementary colours, and short and swift expressive brushwork. In this picture, we see a bouquet of dahlias sitting in an aquamarine vase, and behind that sits a green leaved potted plant. On the bottom right, a small bowl punctuates and balances out the composition. Studying the painting up close, we can see how the artist has used criss-cross brushwork to create depth and three dimensionality, as well as capture the effects of light. There is a wonderful sense of movement and dynamism in the picture. and it would make a striking addition to an interior space.
This large painting is housed in a robust light coloured frame that suits it very well. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has a loss to the top edge, as shown. It is otherwise in a good and stable condition.

A seemingly simple yet very striking mid century modernist still life in oil, painted onto board.
A group of unpretentious and unostentatious objects sit stoically atop a table. The artist draws our attention to the simple, clean shapes, set against the angular lines of the placemats underneath them, as well as the restrained colour palette. These everyday objects that are usually given no notice, are given pride of place in this composition, forcing us to enjoy the beauty of their simplicity, from the curve of the body of the tall vessel, to the juxtaposition of the object’s colours.
The painting is housed in a green wood frame with an inner linen lined border. The colours of the frame match perfectly with the colours of the painting, further enhancing it.
There is a small surface paint loss to painting as shown in the images, but it is overall in a good vintage condition. The frame has some nicks and scuffs to its edges, and there is age toning to the linen border.

A brilliantly executed mid century still life composition in oil, painted in 1962.
This still life features a beautifully textured surface, with the artist using very thickly applied layers of paint to create areas of impasto where the paint stands proud from the surface. In this composition, we are able to discern a group of lemons and limes in a white bowl, but the artist has left out realistic detailing, focusing instead on the texture and colour of the objects and background. There is a deliciousness and tactility to the creaminess of the thick paint, almost as if the artist is using the medium of paint itself to capture taste and texture of the pictured fruit.
This painting is housed in its original mid century wood frame which suits it very well. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A brilliantly executed mid century abstract still life composition, painted in oil and dated 1954.
Featuring a wine bottle on a table top, the artist has flattened all the elements and has reconstructed this painting in an abstract manner through the use of distinct blocks of warm earthy colours as well as expressive brushstrokes.
Contrasting rich shades of brown, yellow and blue fill the canvas, and the use of broad painterly multi-directional brushstrokes adds a wonderful texture and gives the illusion of depth to the painting.
This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. There is a small area of craquelure (fine cracks in the paint, commensurate with its age). Craquelure is not in itself harmful to the painting, and can add to the ‘quality’ of patina that only age can bring. This painting is housed in a wooden frame that has a small chip at the bottom (as shown in the images).

A brilliantly executed, pensive mid century modernist still life in oil, painted in 1935.
Textured, expressionist brushstrokes fill the canvas, capturing a soft light that enters this interior scene. We see two paintbrushes sitting quietly in a ceramic jug on a table, with a window behind it to its right. The artist has beautifully captured the scene – the paintbrushes have seen a day’s work, with remnants of their paint still evident on their tips. The artist has taken these simple objects as his subject, and has shown us how delicate and poignant his tools are to him.
This wonderful painting is housed in a robust frame which suits it very well. The oil painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some very minor scuffs.

A rich and vivid mid century modernist still life composition, painted in oil onto board.
Various objects sit on a drop leaf table, including two bottles, a pot of onions, a basket of vegetables, and two apples. This well balanced vertical composition features a rich and deep colour palette, as well as expressive brushwork that is remiscnent of painters like Paul Cezanne.
The painting is housed in a very well suited light wood frame. The painting has some very small areas of paint loss, as shown in the close up photos. This paint loss doesn’t detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece and is in keeping with its vintage look.

A simple but very effective mid century still life composition, painted in oil onto canvas.
Depicted here are 4 pots painted in a rich, earthy colour palette.

The pots have been painted close up – their bodies filling the majority of the canvas. There is a wonderful harmony and balance to the composition overall.

A rather skilfully executed mid century still life in oil, painted onto board.
Here we have a very balanced and visually pleasing composition of a vessel with fruit in front of it, including berries, figs and squash. Wide and expressive brushstrokes fill the canvas, giving this composition its vigour and dynamism. Despite the style of the painting being expressive rather than realistic, the composition very skilfully still conveys great detail – we get a palpable sense of the ripeness of the round berries and the cold, hard texture of the ceramic vessel.
There is a timelessness to this picture that would make it an easy fit in most interiors. The painting is housed in a silver frame which complements it well. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs but is in good condition overall.

A vibrant and vivid modernist still life, painted in oil onto canvas.
A group of rosy apples sit on a white plat, set against a cerulean blue background to the top half, and darker greenish-blue to the bottom half of the composition. The pink and yellow of the apples stand out beautifully against the blue, and the artist has captured the light on them skilfully. A diluted layer of paint has been applied to the composition, and the artist has let it naturally move down the painting, creating a drip effect that is most visible along the bottom edge of the composition. This intriguing effect is gives the painting an added layer of texture and depth which makes it very satisfying to look at. The artist is intentionally reminding us that this picture in front of us is indeed a painting, and that we are to notice the materiality of the paint itself.
The painting is housed in a silver painted wood frame which suits it well and illuminates the painting. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.
