A brilliantly executed mid century street scene that captures a pared-back urban landscape viewed through a distinctly modernist lens, painted in oil onto canvas by Swedish artist Kurt Lindon (1910-1985), whose works can be found in the collections at the Stockholm City Museum, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Gothenburg Art Museum, Linköping Museum, Östersund Museum, Norrköping Art Museum, and the Borås Art Museum

Low-rise buildings and taller rectangular forms are arranged in a calm, horizontal rhythm, punctuated by a slender vertical tower that anchors the composition. Sparse trees and simplified street elements suggest human presence without overt narrative, lending the scene a quiet, contemplative mood.

Executed in a restrained modernist style, the painting favours structure and balance over detail. Architectural forms are reduced to blocks of colour, with an emphasis on proportion, negative space, and the interplay between verticals and horizontals. The perspective feels gently flattened, reinforcing the mid-century aesthetic and its departure from strict realism.

The colour palette is subtle and sophisticated: soft greys, chalky whites, muted blues, olive greens, and warm earthy browns are offset by occasional touches of brick red and mustard. These tonal contrasts create depth while maintaining an overall sense of harmony and calm.

Brushstrokes are confident yet economical: broad, flat applications of paint define buildings and streets, while lighter, slightly textured strokes add movement and variation across the surface. The paint handling feels deliberate, allowing the composition and colour relationships to carry the emotional weight of the work.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary ridged gilt frame. The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has some scuffs.

A mid-century painting that presents a quietly striking view of a barn facade,  painted in oil onto canvas board.

The composition is front-facing and architectural, reducing the subject to its essential planes and proportions. White doors – each slightly misaligned and marked by age – create a rhythmic sequence across the surface, punctuated by hinges, latches, and subtle irregularities in the wood.

Stylistically, the work reflects a mid-century modern sensibility, where everyday vernacular architecture is treated with restraint and formal clarity. The artist balances realism with a gently abstracted approach, emphasising geometry, repetition, and surface texture over narrative detail.

The colour palette is warm yet grounded: rich reds dominate the background, softened by the chalky whites and pale greys of the doors. Muted shadows and earthy undertones add depth, while the roofline introduces a darker band that anchors the composition.

Brushstrokes are deliberate and tactile, particularly visible in the vertical planks and the layered paint on the doors. The handling of paint suggests careful observation: neither loose nor overly polished, allowing the texture of wood and the passage of time to subtly emerge. Overall, the painting conveys a sense of stillness and quiet endurance, capturing beauty in the functional and the worn.

This oil on canvas board is mounted onto a complementary silver painted wood frame with an inner wood border.  Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large mid-century painting that presents a loosely abstracted scene of an arched doorway with a simple chair set before it, executed in oil onto canvas.

The subject matter is reduced to essential outlines and shifting planes of colour, creating a sense of suggestion rather than literal depiction.

The style leans towards post-impressionist abstraction, with forms softened and fractured through expressive brushwork. The artist plays with spatial ambiguity – lines of the chair, arch, and surrounding walls overlap and dissolve into one another, giving the composition a dreamlike and fleeting quality.

The colour palette is dominated by cool blues and violets, balanced with soft orange, greens, and hints of coral pinks and yellows. These tones are applied in broad, translucent layers, often broken with linear accents, suggesting both architectural structure and natural surroundings.

The brushstrokes are loose, gestural, and exploratory, with an emphasis on rhythm and energy over precision. The interplay of quick vertical and diagonal strokes with washes of blended colour creates both depth and movement, evoking a meditative interior-exterior space.

This oil on canvas is presented in an elegant gilt frame complemented by an inner band of reddish-brown wood grain that adds warmth and depth. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An mid-century oil painting that captures a quiet street corner, where a row of low, yellow facades with shopfront windows are nestled beneath steep red-brown rooftops, executed in oil onto board and dated 1969.

Behind them, tall apartment blocks rise in muted yellow and cream, their flat walls punctuated by chimneys and rooflines silhouetted against a pale blue sky. The streets are empty, save for a lone streetlamp and utility box, lending the scene a still, almost cinematic quality.

The style blends modernist simplification with a touch of naïve precision, reducing architectural forms to bold, geometric planes while retaining enough detail to suggest texture and age. Colours are earthy and atmospheric -browns, and muted yellows dominate, contrasted by the cool grey of the street and the soft blue above. The brushwork is deliberate and smooth in the larger planes, while finer strokes animate the rooftops and wall textures, giving the surfaces a gently worn, lived-in feel.
