A brilliantly executed and well-detailed modernist style still life composition, executed in oil in 1975.
The artwork depicts a table top setting featuring a group of mushrooms, placed against a soothing green coloured background.
Working with a modernist ethos in mind, the artist has intentionally chosen not to focus on realistic details, and instead explores the use of colours, brushstrokes, form and shapes to create a sense of depth and space.
Swift and lively brushstrokes fill the canvas; and we are able to identify distinct areas of colours, where the artist has skillfully used contrasting flat areas of patches of colour to give rise to the various forms within this composition.
This oil on board painting is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in a gilt frame with an inner linen lining, of which has some areas of marks and scuffs, as well as age toning to its inner section.

A quirky, cheery mid century oil of flowers on a window sill, painted onto canvas. Delicate white flowers sit in a decorative blue and red vase that is perched on a window sill, framed by yellow curtains. We can just make out the view out the window, where we see the tops of several colourful buildings. The artist has painted in an expressionist style, with distinct brush strokes in vivid saturated colours, imbuing the painting with a merry, playful feel.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame that suits it very well, and brings out the colours in the painting. There are small areas of paint loss and craquelure to the lower half of the painting (as shown in close ups), typical for an oil of this age, but these losses are fairly inconspicuous.

A homely oil painting depicting a pot of flowers and stack of books on a table by a window, painted in 1937. This textured painting has several areas of impasto, where the paint has been applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface. There is an easiness to this painting, reminding us of weekend mornings having a good read aside some lovely blooms.
The painting is in good vintage condition, with some minor craquelure to the paint (as shown in the photos), commensurate with its age.
It is housed in a gilt frame with an inner green window, which complements the painting beautifully. There are areas of minor paint loss to the frame, but it is in good vintage condition overall.

A well-balanced and very pleasant modernist still life painting, executed in oil.
Placed atop a table sit an assortment of cut wildflowers, fruit, and dark brown vessel.
The delicate pastel colours of peach, greens and yellows as well as the soft and fine brushstrokes imbue the painting with a strong sense of calm and serenity. The manner in which the still life has been composed and proportioned is well balanced and fills the canvas very nicely.

A large and very striking still life composition that has been painted onto board. The artist has used a variety of media, including oil and gouache, to render this detailed composition. The surface of the board has been painted over with a matte textured white, and on top of that the artist has used oil, gouache and watercolour to paint the objects, resulting in a very striking colour palette that really stands out from the surface, while at the same time achieving an incredible level of detail. The choice of tools and objects have created a very well balanced horizontal composition, while at the time drawing the viewer in and encouraging us to inspect all the details. The painting is housed in a greenish-blue wood slip that frames it very well, giving it a contemporary feel. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Size: 61 x 84.5 cm (including frame) Free domestic (UK) shipping. As this painting is very large, it is unlikely that we will be able to ship it internationally. If you are very interested and are located outside of the UK, contact us and we will see what we can do. We take great care in ensuring our listings are accurate and true to life.

A stunningly executed mid century floral still life, painted in oil in a cubist manner. The artist has flattened all the elements, breaking the objects down into distinct planes of colour, where angular forms merge together to give the illusion of depth and three dimensional form. A rich and vibrant colour palette has been used to create this very striking painting.
This unfussy but brilliantly executed cubist still life is housed in its original mid century light wood frame with an inner linen lined border, which suits the painting beautifully. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A luminous and vibrant floral still life rendered in pastel. In this picture, we see a mix of flowers including blue and orange cornflowers, white daisies and red lilies, all set against lush long green leaves. On either side of the vase sit an orange and a bunch grapes. The artist has used the medium of pastel to achieve a wonderfully luscious and velvety texture in the floral picture, while imbuing it with a distinct expressiveness and luminosity. The textural effect of the pastel medium gives this painting wonderful depth and three dimensionality.
The pastel is housed in a fantastic deep gilt and red frame. The pastel is protected behind thick glass. Pastels never crack, yellow or darken over time and when protected behind glass, its vibrancy and richness lasts for centuries.

This sweet still life of blue and yellow asters in vase is full of texture and character. The artist has used a palette knife to thickly apply the paint, creating a composition full of depth and dynamism. The painting and its frame have a quaint country vibe, and its imperfections give it a rustic look that add to its charm.
The painting is fixed to its original mount and frame, which dates to the mid 20th century. The painting is in good vintage condition. The frame has some areas of wear and loss but this does not detract from the painting, and if anything adds to its vintage charm.

A wonderfully executed mid 20th century oil still life composition, depicting 2 lemons, a block of butter, and a jug sitting atop a lovely pink surface.
Blocks of contrasting colours dominate the painting; as the artist has used a restrained palette comprising varying shades of yellow, pink, and beige to make up this stunning composition.
As appealing as the simplicity in colours and forms are in this piece, the use of expressive and energetic brushstrokes confidently executed in differing directions adds even more character to the painting overall.
This oil on canvas is housed in a classic wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A striking and typically modernist oil still life, painted onto board. The artist has used swathes of expressive brushstrokes and thick bold outlines in this composition. The background is indistinct, with flat planes of colour used to create a sense of depth. A yellow lantern sits in the centre of the composition, and a potted plant to the right. There is certainly an element of abstraction in this picture, with the artist focusing on forms, lines and shapes instead of realistic details to create this still life.
The painting is housed in its original mid century gilt frame, with an inner fabric lined border. The painting has a small area of surface paint loss to the upper right corner, and some light surface marks overall (as shown in photos), but these do not detract from its overall attractiveness and if anything adds to its vintage charm. The frame has some minor areas of discolouration and scuffs but again this is typical for its age.

A colourful and expressive mid century oil, painted onto canvas. The artist has made use of a set of simple jars as the subject of this still life, using a range of vivid colours and multidirectional brushwork to breathe life into this simple composition. A single green jar sits separately from the group, but this does not seem to distort the rhythm of the painting, which has a very well balanced, harmonious feel.
The painting is housed in a painted wooden slip. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

An outstanding mid century still life painting of pears, painted onto board. A group of 5 pears in varying colours, ranging from greens, to red-orange, to brown and white, are set against a striking blue glass plate. The painting has a distinct depth to it, as a result of the varying textures that the artist has used. Areas of thick impasto (where the paint is applied thickly enough to stand proud of the surface) are evident, and one of the pears has some form of aggregate applied that have created a thick mottled surface to the left pear.
The frame of the painting is a beauty in itself, and brings out all the textures and colours of the painting wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A really elegant still life painted in oil with a beautifully balanced composition and vivid colouring.

A large and striking mid century still life, painted in oil in 1946. Rich saturated colours in deep tones fill the canvas, with pops of yellow, red and green that draw our attention in ever closer. There is a loose sense of time, with the shadows and darkened tones suggesting an evening light and the closing of the day. A couple of art catalogues sit casually next to a slender vase, beckoning us to take a seat and have a browse. A lone apple lays separately from its group, adding a bold lime green punctuation to the overall composition. Modernist elements are certainly present in this painting, with the artist cleverly using colours and shapes to create depth and a sense of space. Bold lines, distinct and painterly brush marks, and juxtaposing colours make this painting a statement picture.
This oil is housed in its original mid century robust and heavy champagne gilt frame in a distressed style. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some losses to the inner slip and some general wear (as shown in the photos), but we think this adds to the overall charm of the piece.

A striking and well executed still life in oil, painted in 1969. The artist has used an intense palette of dark colours as well as bold, expressionist brushstrokes to create this striking still life composition. The darker palette imbues the painting with an almost melancholic vibe, in many way reminiscent of the sombre colours, flattened spaces and overall mood of the paintings of French expressionist artist Bernard Buffet, who was also painting around this time.
This oil on board is housed in its original mid century frame , with a gilt outer birder and an inner linen lined window. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

A skilfully executed mid century Swedish still life painted in oil on to board. The artist has used a rich, earthy palette to create this still life composition, and has included areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly enough to stand proud from the surface) which create texture. There is an element of mystery to this picture, as not all the objects are discernible. The artist has used bold, distinct lines to create these shapes and forms and has focused on these formal elements as opposed to trying to paint a realistic still life picture.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame which is very unique. It has an off white, ridged outer border, followed by a grey fabric lined window and then a silver inner window. The silver window has some minor scuffing typical for a painting of this age. The painting is in very good vintage condition.

A large and striking mid century oil on canvas, painted in an expressionist manner. The artist has intentionally focused on the harmony of colours as well as balancing shape and form, as opposed to any intricate details. The figures have been paired right down to simple shapes, as have the details of the landscape. There is a great sense of rhythm and balance in this picture. The large size and rich, vivid colour palette in textured brushstrokes would make this painting stand out in any interior.
The painting is housed in its original mid century hessian frame which suits it just wonderfully. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition, with only some very light scuffing to the edges of the frame, which certainly does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

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 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.
