Hillside Houses

A mid-century modernist painting presents a vibrant yet soothing interpretation of houses by a hillside, depicted in a bold, semi-abstract style,  executed in oil onto canvas.

The composition features clusters of houses with angular rooftops nestled among lush greenery, painted in deep blues, rich reds, and warm earth tones. The background sky is rendered in a muted, soft grey, allowing the vivid hues of the houses to stand out.

The artist has used thick, expressive brushstrokes, giving the painting a dynamic, textured quality. The foliage appears sculpted through impasto techniques, while the simplified geometric forms of the buildings lend a sense of structure amidst the organic movement of the landscape.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has a small area of paint loss but is in good condition overall.
