A cosy corner of a homely interior setting, painted in oil in a fairly mellow palette. A candle sits atop a sideboard, with a landscape painting handing above. A further portrait painting and a circular object hang on the wall next to it. To the left, a curtain seems to lead into a corridor or separate room, adding an element of mystery to the painting. There is a nice balance to the composition, with each object depicted seeming to own its space. The palette that the artist used is fairly restrained, with similar colours repeated throughout the composition.
The painting is housed in a white and silver frame with a linen lined border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffs and a small age mark to the left edge, but overall it is in good condition.

A mid century original coloured lithograph by the Italian artist Marino Marini, titled ‘Le Sacre du Printemps’, printed by the well known French printers studio Mourlot in Paris in 1973.
‘Le Sacre du Printemps’ (The Rite of Spring) is a ballet and orchestral concert work by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. It was the source of inspiration for this artwork by Marini.
One of Italy’s most celebrated sculptors of the 20th century, Marino Marini primarily produced figurative bronze sculptures, though his practice also included paintings, drawings and etchings. Marini drew on the tradition of Etruscan and northern European sculpture, reinterpreting classical themes such as the female nude, the portrait bust, and the equestrian figure, which he combined with aspects of modernism—in particular exaggerated and elongated forms. Towards the end of his career Marini’s sometimes-monumental sculptures became increasingly abstracted. On trips to Paris and New York, he associated with Giorgio de Chirico, Jean Arp, Max Beckmann, and Alexander Calder, among other major modernist artists.
This coloured lithograph is housed in a simple gilt frame that suits it perfectly. The print is framed behind glass. Both print and frame are in good vintage condition.

A wonderfully rhythmic mid century abstract composition, painted onto board.
We get a distinct sense that the artist is painting a visual manifestation of a type of movement or motion. The artist has eliminated all naturalistic forms, concentrating instead on the trajectory and direction of the movements. The painting has a limited palette of white, black, grey and green, putting a stark emphasis on the synthesis that the artist achieves with the looped, flowing and intertwined curves. He is perhaps suggesting the passage of time as well as movement in space.
This acrylic on board is housed in its original silver frame with red undertones. There are minor stains on the top left on the painting, but the piece is in very good vintage condition overall. There are minor scuffs to the frame.

A brilliantly executed mid century vintage oil portrait, painted onto canvas and housed in a very complementary frame.
An elegant female figure with her hair up in a bun and dressed in light blue sits patiently on a chair, with her arms folded. Her blue dress contrasts beautifully with the abstract background on red. Large, expressive swathes of red, orange and brown fill the canvas, and yet the artist has very skilfully used the background to draw attention to the figure, despite the strong colouring.
This lovely textured oil is ready to hang. It is housed in a lovely light blue frame that suits it wonderfully. Both frame and painting are in excellent vintage condition.

A well-executed and impactful mid 20th century semi-abstract blue oil portrait, depicting a lady seated cross-legged and holding a white bowl.
The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos, with the artist focusing on colour contrast and bold outlines to create this outstanding portrait.
A restrained palette comprising shades from blue to grey fill the painting; and distinct blocks of these contrasting colours have been used to make out this composition.
Swift and painterly brushstrokes have been executed in an almost forceful manner, creating thick layers of paint (impasto) that add a striking textured effect and a sense of three dimensionality to the work overall.
This oil on canvas is housed in a simple wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A vibrant and striking mid century oil painting depicting a group of bedouins gathering together and surrounded by lush greenery.
Painted in an expressionist manner, the artist has intentionally left out intricate details such as the facial features of the figures, and instead has chosen to focus on the harmony of colours, skilful brushstrokes as well as the balancing of shape and form.
Through the use of swift and confident brushstrokes, rich and vivid colours layer upon one another to reveal the respective forms, whilst creating an outstanding textural and lively feel to the piece.
This oil on canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is housed in its original hessian frame with an inner grainy wood as well as gilt window. There is minor surface paint loss to the lower edge of the gilt section of the frame, as shown in the images.

A striking and wonderfully textured mid century abstract mixed media on canvas.
Here the artist has used oil paint mixed with an aggregate to create a sand like texture on the surface of the painting, which has added another layer of depth to the work. The artist has applied large swathes of colour in an expressive manner. We can imagine his brush dancing across the surface of the canvas as it makes its long and gestural marks. The beauty of the abstract nature of this composition is that it can bring to mind several different things depending on the viewer and their experiences, and for us it evokes memories around cliffs and the oceans.
The painting is housed in a thin wood frame. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

This pair of modernist ‘constructivist’ three dimensional works feature cut out panels that have been painted in oil and assembled. The artist has used stripped down, geometric forms and modest materials. They are a fine example of technical mastery and the organisation of material. Here the role of the artist as ‘painter’ has been re-imagined – the artist is an engineer wielding tools instead of a painter holding a brush. The art has been ‘built’, rather than emerging from an expressive impulse or an academic tradition. As a result, the artworks are intriguing to explore from many angles, and would make a striking addition to any space.
Artworks and frames are all in excellent condition.

A sombre panoramic landscape presenting vast open lands of shrubs, with mountains fading into the distance.
The artist has used a restrained colour palette comprising mostly of various shades of blue, with some hints of green in the foreground.
The brushstrokes, though soft and subtle, are thoughtful and precise, imbuing the work with an overall sense of nostalgia and mystery.
It is worth mentioned that the edges of the work remain visible, exposing the substrate beneath it. This vignette effect further draws our attention to and emphasises the subject matter.

A striking mid century modernist abstract composition, painted in oil onto board.
In the centre of the composition we see thickly applied layers of paint and this area of impasto in grey and rust brown creates an initial focal point. The composition has a grid like effect, with layers of paint contrasting against each other in a myriad of ways. The crossed angles in which the paint has been applied create a distinct sense of depth to the painting, drawing our eyes further and further inward to discover the various layers. The lighter colours sit underneath the darker, earthier colours, giving it a luminous effect.
Although the picture does not depict anything identifiable, it is very expressive and emotional in its effect, created both through the colour palette as well as the gestural way in which the paint has been applied.
The painting is housed in a dark wood frame with a linen lined border. There are some age spots on the top left of the painting, but it is overall in good vintage condition. There are minor scuffs to the frame, commensurate with its age.

A visually pleasing and charming modernist oil painting depicting a scene of a marina with several boats, and a row of huts that lined by the waterfront promenade.
The artist has used a beautiful restrained palette – selectively choosing similar shades of white, yellow, and brown to paint the huts and boats that seemingly reflective each other. This not only makes the artwork very well-balanced, but it also creates a sense of depth to the painting.
Expressive and painterly brushworks have been applied in a swift manner, breathing so much energy and vigour to the overall artwork.
This oil on canvas is housed in a highly complementary grainy wood frame with an inner gilt and linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large and very well executed 1959 limited edition (28/30) lithograph, signed by Waldemar Sjölander.
The artist uses tonal gradation, outlines, and shapes to create this playful composition. The figure is fragmented into several three dimensional forms, and plays on optical illusion. The artist converges the shadows of the figure with its three dimensional form, teasing our eyes which weave in and out of the shapes.
This mid century print is laid onto a white mount, and housed behind glass in a very complementary gilt frame. Both print and frame are in good vintage condition.

This painting is characterised with short and expressive brushstrokes that have been executed in a swift and confident manner. This adds vigour and a lovely texture to the work.
The painting’s small size would make it the perfect addition to a shelf, bookshelf or above a bed side table.

A dynamic and well-balanced mid century landscape painting, executed in oil.
Painted in an abstract manner, the work presents a panoramic view of a sunset over sand dunes in the vast desert.
The artist has selected a naturalistic palette comprising neutral shades of sand, tan, brown and beige. The overall colour scheme evokes tranquility. The colours harmonise beautifully , and the overlapping shades create depth within the painting.
Painterly and dynamic brushstrokes have been executed swiftly, wonderfully capturing the wind-swept sand across various directions in the desert, adding a lively and luminous touch to the work. Yet there is a softness to its overall feel.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen lining. There is a very tiny pinhole mark to the lower left corner of the panting, and there is some scuffing to the top left edge of the inner section of the frame, but the painting is in good vintage condition overall.

A stunning mid century modernist oil landscape painting depicting rows of houses at sunset.
The rooftops of the homes, painted with a layer of frosted white, have a thin layer of snow left unmelted despite the sun’s shining rays.
The artist has executed this artwork so confidently with powerful and visible brushstrokes, and the textured layers of paint create a sense of three dimensionality to the piece.
Additionally, the blazing sky painted in orange with an underlying layer of blue really picks up the colours of the homes wonderfully.

A deep and soulful abstract composition rendered in oil. Swathes of colour in varying forms tease our imagination – do we see something recognisable? Angled forms peek out in different directions, reminiscent of the silhouette of an almost undiscernible city skyline at night time. For others perhaps the composition is a reminder of jazz music – with its careful balance of spirit, freedom and form.

An elegant and gentle still life painted in watercolour.
A teapot, a pitcher, a plate of fruits, and a garlic glove are laid on a table setting against a corner of a wall.
The artist has chosen a predominately subtle and light colour palette, but has painted the teapot and tomato in rich contrasting shades compared to the rest.
There is a great amount of detail in the work; and the delicate effects of the medium of watercolour enhances its overall softness.

A pleasant and well-executed mid 20th century still life oil composition, depicting a flower pot placed on a window sill, with a glimpse into the surroundings outside.
Upon looking at the painting, our eyes are immediately drawn to the flower vase, as its bolder colours are in contrast to the light and gentle pastel shades of the remaining forms.
Through the use of swift and straight brushstrokes, the artist displays his painterly skills by utilising bold outlines as well as qualities of the shading technique and smooth gradation of colour to not only give rise to the various forms in the composition, but also to give the illusion of depth and dimensionality.
This oil on canvas is housed in a gilt frame with lovely red undertones. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A large, richly coloured mid century nude study oil, painted in 1949. There is a palpable sense of ‘ease’ to the nude figure, who sits relaxed in her chair – her face and body are relaxed, with no ounce of stiffness present. Her surroundings too are homely and warm – a flower pot sits by the window with the curtain drawn open, letting the natural light in.
The artist has painted skilfully and confidently, using a rich, saturated colour palette to paint this expressive study, and has included areas of impasto (where the painted thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) to add texture and depth.
The painting is housed in its original mid century dark bronze wood frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

An atmospheric and textured mid century oil on board of a rural winter landscape. The artist has used a restrained palette, keeping to fairly monochrome tones, with shades of white, cream, brown and black. The use of several areas of impasto (where the paint is applied thickly such that it stands proud from the surface) and the layering of the different colours give the painting depth and texture. The artist has managed to capture the sense of cold, frosty winds blowing the snow in different directions, burying the cottages that we see depicted. Sitting prominently in the sky is a full moon, adding to the atmospheric nature of the painting.
The painting is housed in an elegant thin gold frame, which suits it very well and illuminates the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
