Les Poires

SOLD.

A brilliantly executed and characterful 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.

Thick swirls of creamy paint form the background of the top half of the composition, and then below this we have a darker brown area with outlines in thick strokes that mimic the appearance of wood grain. Contrasted against this earthy palette are five bright and vivid pears. 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 silver frame with a grey border.  Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 27 x 42.5cm (including frame)
