A charming and vibrant mid-century Parisian street scene composition, executed in oil onto canvas 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.
The painting captures a lively Parisian street with bustling vendors and shoppers set against a backdrop of historic European architecture. The composition is rich with movement, as figures in bright attire interact amidst street stalls.
Rendered in an expressive and semi-impressionist style, the painting employs loose, expressive brushstrokes that create a sense of dynamism and spontaneity. The artist has used a bold yet harmonious colour palette, with warm yellow, deep blues, and lively reds enhancing the energetic street atmosphere. Thick, textured impasto application adds depth and movement, allowing light and shadow to dance across the canvas.
This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited wood frame with visible grain. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
