A large and very unique mid century modernist oil composition of two figures, painted onto canvas by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.
The artist has flattened the surface, reducing the figures down into planes of pastel colour, that fit together like a puzzle. The palette is restrained, using a range of light blues, greys and browns. To add depth to the picture, the painting is filled with these vertical patterns, that are almost like seams that open up to reveal layers of colour underneath.
This very interesting composition is unframed but can be hung as is. The painting has some scattered craquelure, commensurate with age. The craquelure does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

A striking figurative abstract composition, titled ‘Friday Evening’ and dated 2013 on reverse.
Bold outlines and rich colours intertwine to create this captivating and expressive composition. Although abstract in nature and not rendered in a realistic manner, a pair of eyes are red lips are evident in this painting, and we can discern a portrait of a human subject.
The artist has employed geometric shapes and lines to convey the essence of the subject’s character and emotions. Bold outlines delineate the contours of the figure, giving it a strong presence. Rich colours including shades of orange, blue and red dominate the artwork, reflecting the artist’s intention to evoke a sense of energy. The brushstrokes have been applied with confidence, adding depth and dimension to the work.
This oil on canvas comes unframed, and can be hung as it is. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

A fun and unique mid century oil painting on canvas, titled ‘Le Club 55’ on reverse.
Le Club 55 is a legendary and glamorous beach club in the south of France, and we can infer that the setting of the painting is within its interior. Punctuating the center of the composition are two well-dressed figures standing in front of white round table, with 2 wine glasses in front of them. The background of the painting is composed of an interesting mix of collage including wine labels and an image of a sail boat.
Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the artist has skilfully reconstructed the figures down to flat blocks of contrasting colours to demonstrate their three-dimensional form, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas.
This oil on stretched canvas comes unframed, but can be hung as is. It is in excellent vintage condition.

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.

A truly striking and vibrant scene of a pair of roosters set within an expressive landscape dotted with trees and other animals. This painting has an exceptional three dimensional quality to it, with very thickly applied brightly coloured oils on the canvas. The artist has caked on the paint and has then shaped it, not using a brush, but with a palette and fingers. Here the artist has used the paint not simply to depict part of the picture, but to be part of the picture. These techniques are reminiscent of modernist artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, whose use of paint was often pronounced and dramatic, as is the case with this painting.
The scene taking place has much to offer, with other animals appearing in unexpected places. Every aspect of this picture has been given a life of its own – the swirls of the trees, the dynamic strokes of the sky, the comma like stabs of the grass. Wonderful contrasts of colour and different forms of paint applications lend a sense of depth, and create such an array of interesting features to notice.

This modernist style painting strikes a fine balance between realism and abstraction. We see a calming and dreamy riverscape on the one hand, but the combination of bold lines, subjective use of colour and distinct forms and shapes adds an element of abstraction to the piece. We’re unable to tie the landscape to any particular place or moment in time, which lends a sense of mystery to the piece. It allows us to let our minds wander, transporting us to a distant place faraway, away from the stresses of everyday life. The post-impressionist elements of this painting would make it a good fit for a contemporary interior.
This oil on board comes unframed, and has minor surface marks on the edges that would be easily hidden by a frame.

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.

A playful and brilliantly executed mid-century figurative composition of a guitar player, executed in oil onto board.
Drawing inspiration from elements of cubism and geometric abstraction, the artist has masterfully deconstructed the painting down to distinct blocks and geometric forms that overlap and intersect with one another. Each element of the figure and guitar seems to occupy its own distinct space, yet together they form a cohesive and harmonious whole.
The artist has also skilfully used contrasting colours as well as thin black and red outlines to highlight the three-dimensional qualities of the forms yet maintain a sense of flatness throughout the artwork.
This oil on board comes unframed. There is some slight wear and losses to the edges of the painting, but this would be hidden if framed.

A wonderfully executed and expressive modernist composition of an artist’s studio, painted in oil and dated 1938.
The left side of the painting features an open window, allowing sunlight to pour into the room. The light rays fill the space, creating a captivating play of light and shadow. Standing prominently in the center of the painting is a tall easel supporting a blank canvas. The canvas, untouched by any brushstrokes, invites viewers to ponder the artistic journey about to unfold. To the right, a glimpse of a desk can be seen, hinting at the artist’s working environment.
The use of rich colours combined with painterly brushstrokes creates an uplifting quality to the piece.
This oil on canvas laid onto board is unframed. There is some wear to the outer corners, but this would be hidden by a frame. Overall the painting is in very good vintage condition. The painting can be displayed as is, leaning against a shelf or propped up on an easel. It would also look lovely if housed in a simple frame.

A brilliantly executed and playful figurative composition with abstract qualities, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1950.
Depicting a group of figures gathered at a quay, the painting hints at a narrative, inviting viewers to speculate the nature of their gathering.
Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the artist has intentionally chosen not to depict the figures and the surrounding environment realistically and has instead reduced them to blocks of shapes in contrasting colours. The different shapes have been carefully juxtaposed against one another, creating a wonderful interplay of uplifting colours that heightens the visual impact of the composition, and imbues it with a sense of liveliness.
This oil on stretched canvas is unframed. There are some very small scattered areas of paint loss, as shown, but these are not immediately noticeable due to the style of the piece. The paint layer is stable, and the overall appearance is very good.

In this well-coloured composition that has a strong focus on colour, we can discern figures strolling through a bustling promenade lined with trees on both sides. The explosion of colours thoughtfully reflects the lively atmosphere and energetic mood of the scene.

A fun, playful, mid century Swedish oil, painted on board in a Naïve style (Naïve art is characterised by childlike simplicity of execution and vision. As such it has been valued by modernists seeking to get away from what they see as the insincere sophistication of art created within the traditional system).
A row of red fishing huts line the fishing lake, and behind them we see the forest, and mountains and the salmon pink sky. To the left stands a cheerful figure, adding a wonderful playfulness to the composition.
The painting is currently unframed and is painted onto very sturdy board. It has surface wear around the outermost edges (as shown in photos) where it was previously framed. A new frame would cover these marks. You could also choose to display in its current state on an easel or leant against a shelf.

A very striking abstract composition of a group of silhouetted figures, painted in 1972. The artist has used a restrained palette of blues, purples and greens to render this composition in oil. Setting the dark figures against the lighter blue background, the artist has created a palpable rhythm within the picture, encouraging our eyes to follow the alternating upward and downward curved outlines of the figures. There artist has included a tiny pop of yellow to the right side of the painting, which punctuates the painting wonderfully.

We have here a really unique piece that has been painted in oil on both front and back, both still lifes equally stunning. The artist has applied the vibrant tones in an expressive and dynamic manner, accentuating the patterning to the wall and table cloth. This heightens the texture and form of the composition giving the painting an impressionistic and nostalgic feel. There is an additional study on the reverse, showing a breakfast spread complete with butter, rolled napkin and open book.
This vintage painting has accrued patina and areas of losses and scuffing (as seen in the photos) from its journey thus far, but we think it really adds character to the painting(s).
The painting is unframed and is on board, and can be displayed without a frame (allowing you to be flexible about which side you choose to display), but should you wish assistance with framing we are always happy to help. You can drop us a message here or email us at info@discerningpalette.com

This calming mid 20th century oil on canvas depicts a scene of a Spanish village with a woman carrying a basket filled with fresh produce on her head in the foreground.
It is the break of dawn, and the lady has just completed her first round of transporting the freshly harvested crops from the highlands down to village below.
Despite the hardships of her livelihood having to balance a heavy load on her head through rough terrains, her upright posture with her hands on her hips exudes strength and pride, and an impressive sense of balance.
This artwork is painted by Swedish artist Tage Gavik (1914-1981); who has used distinct brushstrokes and contrasting earthy colours to give rise to the various forms in this painting.

A very large and vibrant oil painting on board with a wonderful array of details to notice. The painting almost ‘unfolds’ before us as we look at it, with lots of individual areas of detailing becoming apparent as we let our eyes wander across the picture. At first glance we notice the main scene taking place in the foreground, where a group of fishermen surround their catch of the day. Then we start to notice the other activities taking place, such as the woman spinning yarn on the right, as well as the features of the cityscape beyond. Then, almost as if to surprise us, little animals along the lower border soon reveal themselves to us – the rabbit, frog, dog with bird in mouth, and duck. Even as the picture recedes, the artist has taken great care to paint in all the details, including the cranes and factories in the far distance.
This wonderful painting with so much to offer measures 80.9 x 48.1cm. There are some areas of paint losses to the bottom of the painting but this would be easily covered by a frame.
