Green Contours

SOLD.

A brilliantly executed and richly textured modernist landscape oil composition, signed by the established Swedish artist Max Gregor Carlsson (1914-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Malmö Museum, Eskilstuna Art Museum, Ystads Museum, Norrköping City Collection, the Landskrona Konsthall.

Containing elements of abstraction, the artist has skilfully captured the essence of rolling hills and a dense forest, simplifying and reducing the scene down to planes of limited contrasting colours, and using bold black outlines and green to define the contours of the natural elements.

The artist has deliberately used a restrained palette that allows for a harmonious and balanced color scheme, with cream hues with subtle yellow undertones evoking a sense of warmth and serenity, while the use of rich forest green signifies lushness and vibrancy of the landscape.

The masterful use of the impasto technique creates texture and depth to the painting – with thick, textured brushstrokes giving the artwork a tactile quality, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the scene.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary slim cream frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

Size:  43.5 x 52 cm (including frame)
