The Banquet

SOLD.

A very lively and playful mid-century composition in oil, painted by Swedish artist Uno Vallman (1913-2004) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

With its almost mosaic-like effect and an illustrative quality, this playful composition features bright colours and lots of detail – a very recognisable style within Vallman’s oeuvre. The artist plays with patterns and outlines in this bustling scene of people at a dining banquet, with a striking green ceiling with chandeliers above them.

The painting is very lively and uplifting, and has wonderful areas of texture where the artist has used thick dollops of paint in an impasto technique.

This oil on canvas is housed in a very well made and robust gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor marks and scuffs

Size: 76 x 64.5 cm (including frame)
