Four Pears

SOLD.

A brilliantly executed mid-century still life in oil, painted by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.

Cederberg is known for his exquisite still lifes of pears, which always capture the delightful quirkiness of this lovely fruit. He focuses on their forms, approaching the fruit and its surroundings with a modernist ethos. Both the background and objects within this picture have been painted in flat planes of colour, creating a blocky composition. There is a beautiful balance to the horizontal composition, which Cederberg is known to be adept at achieving.

Cederberg was a Swedish artist who made his debut on the art world in Helsingborg in 1922.  Later he participated in the  Skåne Art Association Exhibition in 1926 and the  Swedish Public Art Society exhibition in Stockholm in 1941. He is represented in several public collections in Sweden.

This brilliantly done oil is beautifully presented in a lovely wood frame and an inner linen lined border.  Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 39.5 x 44 cm (including frame)
