Interior Angles

SOLD

A bold and striking mid century modernist interior scene, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1954 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.

This painting depicts an interior scene rendered in a bold, geometric, and abstracted style. The focus is on simplified shapes, structured composition, and a muted, earthy color palette.

The central element of the painting is a large, dark table, with angular lines and panels of brown, beige, and black. Surrounding the table are walls, doors, and furniture, abstractly represented through flattened planes and geometric forms. The space is framed by dark doorways, rectangular wall panels, and a doorway with a visible brown door.

The perspective is intentionally distorted and angular, creating a slightly cubist, modernist feel. The painting emphasizes structure and form, reducing details in favour of simplified and abstracted shapes.

This artwork captures a quiet, introspective interior scene through an abstracted and geometric lens. The angular forms, muted tones, and simplified details create a sense of stillness and structure. It reflects a modernist approach to interior spaces, focusing on the interplay of shape, line, and muted colour. The deliberate distortion and abstraction invite the viewer to engage with the composition’s architectural and emotional depth.

The oil on canvas is framed in a simple, light-coloured wooden frame that aligns with the minimalist, modernist aesthetic of the painting. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some scuffing and slight age toning, but is in good condition overall.
