A large and excellently executed semi-abstract mid century oil composition, painted onto canvas.
Depicted here are the outlines of several figures crowded together. The artist has applied a myriad of rich, saturated colours with confident and expressive brushwork. He has reduced the figured down to their formal elements – facial and physical details have been abstracted down to skilfully executed paint marks in various flattened shapes, forms and lines. There is wonderful movement, texture and dynamism to the piece.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame which has multiple borders lined in different material. There is both a woven hessian section as well as a linen-lined section.
Size: 82 x 62 cm (including frame)

A very well executed mid century modernist landscape in oil, painted onto board.
Here the artist has applied expressive brushstrokes in vivid colour to compose a semi-abstract mountain scene. Using non naturalistic colours, the artist has incorporated an expressive and emotional response to the landscape before him, capturing both the ruggedness and beauty of the natural landscape. His short and swift strokes applied with a brush in a myriad of colours create wonderful pockets full of colourful detail to look at and enjoy.
The painting is housed in an excellent frame which has a a linen lined border and an inner gilt window which illuminates the painting beautifully. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition. There is a small area of surface dirt along the top edge of the painting, as shown in the photos. This does not detract from the overall attractiveness of the piece.

A very large and very bold original mid century composition in oil, painted in 1967.
In this striking painting, a figure stands with arms held high, carrying a fish. Three birds circle the figure and fish, and a round, shining yellow sun shines down from the top right corner. The painting has been painted in a distinctly modernist style, taking influence from the simplified, stylised and monumental figures of Iberian and African tribal art and sculpture. The celebratory way in which the figure holds up his catch imbues this painting with such joy and exultation.
The large size, colour palette, texture and subject matter of this painting would make it a real statement piece in any interior.
The painting is housed in wide profile dark silver frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
Size: 95 x 79 cm (including frame)

A small but stunning mid century modernist landscape composition in oil, painted in 1959.
This excellently proportioned composition features the snow covered rooftops of a group of houses, painted in a soothing and subtle colour palette. The artist guides us into appreciating the formal qualities of this scene, such as the angular lines and shapes of the roofs, doors and windows, the geometry of the houses stacked up against each other and the repeated patterns created by colour, shape and line. Contrasted against the very angular structures of the buildings are the more free flowing trees, whose branches peek out above the rooftops. The red and ochre walls of the houses and the blue of the sky stand out beautifully against the large planes of white snow.
This painting is housed in a very well suited gilt frame with a lighter inner window. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.

An exceptional mid century modernist composition in oil, painted on to board.
Swathes of rich, saturated colour connect and intersect to create this striking landscape composition. Using a range of non naturalistic colours to depict the landscape, the artist reduces the scene before him down into shapes, forms and patterns, Realistic details have been intentionally left out, and traditional methods of perspective cast out. Instead, the artist focusses on formal qualities, and uses contrasting colour to create depth and space. Also incorporated into the composition are elements of cubism and abstract patterning.
The painting is housed in a gilt frame with a linen lined border. There is some craquelure (typical for an oil of this age) to the lower half of the painting but the paint surface on the entire composition is very stable. There is some surface wear to the inner edge of the right side of the painting, as shown in the close ups.

A very soothing and restful mid century landscape composition in oil, painted onto board.
A winding river leads our eye deep into the picture, transporting us into this rural wintery landscape surrounded by nature, where pockets of snow rest quietly on the ground. In the distance we see a wooded landscape lining the horizon, with just the tops of the mountains peaking out from behind. The rising sun casts its pinkish – purple hue over the landscape, giving this picture its warm glow. The artist has skilfully captured the peaceful and tranquil feel of this rural landscape through the use of expressive brushwork and colour.
The painting is housed in a very complementary gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A wonderfully striking mid century still life, painted in oil onto board.
In this composition, a blue vase filled with white flowers sits alongside a smaller white vessel and a peach laying on its side. The artist has used a very vivid and rich colour palette, contrasting deep greens and oranges against the striking cobalt blue of the vase. There is a brilliant sense of harmony and balance within the picture, both in terms of colour as well as composition. The artist has used short, expressive brushstrokes for the background, giving the picture a sense of depth and space.
There is a timelessness to this picture that would make it an easy fit in any interior.
The painting is housed in a beautiful gilt frame that suits it perfectly. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has a minor scuff top right (as shown), but is otherwise in very good condition.

An excellent mid century expressionist composition in oil, painted onto board.
This expressive work features free brushwork as well as generous and textured paint application. Simple in composition yet complex in execution, the artist has swift and multi direction brushstrokes to create a sense of depth and space. This use of non naturalistic colour and dynamic paint application charges this painting with emotion – the artist has incorporated his own response to what he sees, capturing the ‘feel’ of the landscape.
The striking painting is housed in light wood frame with gilt highlights that complements the painting very well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

An expressive and uniquely textured modernist style landscape composition, rendered in oil on canvas.
The artist has used a restrained palette of blues of greens to execute this scenic view depicting a hilly landscape surrounded by trees.
An aggregate has been added to the surface – which wonderfully simulates the granular nature of sand, creating an almost three dimensional and sculptural effect to the painting.

A fun and playful 1972 limited edition (159/360) coloured lithograph, signed by Lennart Rodhe.

A small but very interestingly executed mid century oil on board, housed in a wonderful frame.
This semi abstract composition features broad, expressive and textured brushstrokes. The artist has used contrasting and non-realistic colours to create a discernible scene where two figures appear to be standing on a truck with an open door. The artist has also exercised restraint with his paint, using what appears to be simple and minimal brushwork to execute the scene at hand. It is this restraint that shows off the artist’s skill, and makes the composition a very satisfying one to admire.
This oil on board is in very good vintage condition. It is housed in its original mid century linen-lined frame. There are ageing spots on the frame, commensurate with its age.

A brilliant modernist abstract composition in oil, painted in 1967.
Broad, distinct, and painterly brushstrokes have been applied to the surface to create this abstract composition. The subtle nuances in tones and shades create a rather satisfying composition, encouraging our eyes to follow the expressive brushwork around the canvas. The sweeping of the brushwork adds to the impact of the painting and brings our attention to the materiality of the creamy paint and the physical movement of the artist’s hand. The areas of pronounced impasto add a sense of depth and three dimensionality to the painting.
The painting is housed in a simple wood frame that suits it well. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A nostalgic mid century landscape in oil, painted onto canvas.
A row of small houses sit atop mountains looking over the landscape. A tree punctuates the middle of the foreground, giving our eyes a focal point. To the left of the composition we see cyprus trees standing tall, and as we move further into the back of the composition, a row of mountains sit underneath the sunset sky. The artist has captured a moment where it is not long before the light is lost and night begins. The sun sits just below the horizon, and this time of twilight casts a purple tinge onto the landscape.
This scene exudes a feeling of nostalgia and tenderness, while being really calm and restful.
This oil on canvas is housed in its original mid-century wood frame with an inner silver window that makes the painting stand out. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The window on the frame has areas of general wear and paint loss, commensurate with age.

An outstanding mid century still life depicting a vase of dahlias set against a patterned backdrop, executed in oil.
The painting is well balanced as although a lightly toned pastel colour palette has been used to imbue the work with an overall sense of calm and softness, the bold and confident brushstrokes invigorate the work with liveliness and add a lovely textured effect.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary dark gilt frame. Both painting and frame are in very good vintage condition. The edges of the frame have some minor scuffs but these are not obvious unless closely inspected.

A brilliantly executed mid century modernist oil composition, painted in 1959.
Here the artist depicts 3 chickens, but has intentionally left out realistic details and has instead chosen to focus on the formal qualities of shape, line and colour. He has also incorporated lots of texture by using thick paint applied in quick successive motions. This playful picture has been skilfully executed and would make a wonderful addition to any interior.
The painting is housed in a wood frame with a linen lined border. Both paining and frame are in good vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs to the left edge but this does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

A soothing and elegant abstract composition in oil, painted in 1969.
This luxurious painting features soft, gentle colours, while still incorporating areas with great texture and depth. In the centre of the composition we have areas of impasto, where the paint has been thickly applied so its stands proud from the surface, creating an area of focus for the viewer. Our eyes are then gently led outwards towards to the more blended areas. Despite the composition not being of anything identifiable, this abstract piece has a very distinct emotional and aesthetic impact. We are encouraged to focus on the materiality of the paint, the colours, and the effect that has both visually and emotionally.
This abstract painting would certainly elevate any interior space and add a touch of luxury.
It is housed in a very complementary wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A striking mid century modernist still life, painted in oil onto board.
A myriad of colours, shapes, forms and lines has been used in this composition. The artist purposefully draws our attention to the fluidity of the objects and the background, using rounded and curved lines for all the individual elements, which are set against a rainbow-like band of colours. There is a distinct playfulness to this picture, in terms of subject, colour as well as shadow and light.

A large and very well executed 20th century modernist style oil composition, painted onto canvas.
The artist has left out realistic details, reducing the landscape down to planes of colour that blend effortlessly into each other, while still creating a sense of depth and space on the canvas. In the centre of the composition we see a group of farmhouses painted in vivid dark brown and white, creating a focal point and drawing our eyes inward initially. As we shift our focus to the lower half of the composition where the fields have been depicted, angular shapes in soft colours fit together seamlessly like a jigsaw puzzle. Despite the angled shapes, there is a distinct softness to it that makes it very visually pleasing. As we move upwards, a woodland sits behind the farmhouses, giving the composition a wonderful balance and sense of harmony. The artist has used the colour palette very skilfully to full effect, giving the picture a wonderful luminosity.
The painting is housed in a simple gilt frame which suits it perfectly. The paining is in good condition. There is a light white vertical surface mark below the farmhouses, as shown in close up photos. The frame has some scuffing the left and top edges, but does not detract from its overall attractiveness.

An elegant and textured mid century abstract composition in oil, painted in 1959.
Abstract and non-representational in nature, the artist encourages us to focus instead on the materiality and motion of the paint and brushwork. Gestural marks have been applied in a considered manner, making sure to keep its balance and colour harmony. Although very much subject to personal interpretation, we think the dynamism, textures and colours of this painting could be reminiscent of the sea and its reefs.
The painting is housed in its original mid century frame with a linen border. The painting has some scattered craquelure, typical for a painting with thickly applied paint of this age. The paint layer is stable overall and both painting and frame are in good condition otherwise.

A large and colourful mid century abstract composition, painted in oil onto canvas and dated 1967.
This abstract expressionist composition features a myriad of gestural brushstrokes in a vivid array of colours. We get a sense of the artist’s brush and the vigour in the way it moves on the canvas, applying sections of colour in quick and swift strokes. Yet the composition and the overall balance of colours and the way they have been placed on the canvas is carefully considered, creating a picture that has a distinct harmony, balance and vividness.
The painting is housed in a simple wood frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A small but very striking mid century semi-abstract composition in oil.
Reminiscent of the 20th century modernist style of ‘fauvism’, this painting features the classic fauve feature of separating colour from its descriptive, representational purpose and allowing it to exist on the canvas as an independent element. In this picture, the colour establishes a structure within the work without being true to the natural world. Its brushstrokes also carry the fauve style of being short and separated, creating a sense of movement within the picture.
Vivid, expressive colours and spontaneous brushwork contained within a small composition create a piece that would stand out in any interior. It would work as a single piece in a small space that needed a lift, but would also work well as part of a group hang.
The painting is housed in an off white painted wood frame that enhances its vintage character. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

This poignant painting is of a post impressionist style, characterised by solid patches of unrealistic colour, definitive forms and abstract tendencies.

A brilliantly executed mid century still life in oil, painted by the established artist Eric Cederberg.
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 three bright and vivid pears, still connected to their branches and their ochre leaves. 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 painting is housed in an absolutely gorgeous champagne frame with a wide profile. The painting has some scattered craquelure but is stable overall and is in good condition otherwise. The frame is in good vintage condition.
