A large and striking mid century modernist portrait in oil, painted onto board.
With a very distinctive dark sepia tone overall, the rusty reds of this portrait give it great impact. The figure’s gaze, although forward, does not look directly at us. Expressive, gestural brushstrokes can be seen throughout the surface, and layers of interesting colours reveal themselves slowly as we take the time to study the picture. Behind the figure appear several more heads, so we get a sense that she is perhaps standing amongst a crowd, but the artist has chosen her specifically as the protagonist of the painting.
This oil on board is housed in original mid century gilt frame with linen border. The painting and frame are both in excellent vintage condition.

An expressive mid century modernist composition of a dockside, executed in oil onto board.
A large white boat that punctuates the center of the painting has just docked, and on the left, we can spot a few figures by the water.
Containing impressionist qualities, the artist has swiftly applied loose brushstrokes that not only capture the fleeting and atmospheric conditions of that moment in time, but add a textural quality to the painting.
A plethora of beautiful muted pastel colours have been used to render this composition, adding an uplifting feel.
This oil on board is housed in a complementary grey wooden frame. There are some area of paint loss to the frame’s edges as shown. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

A fun and unique mid century oil painting on canvas, titled ‘Le Club 55’ on reverse.
Le Club 55 is a legendary and glamorous beach club in the south of France, and we can infer that the setting of the painting is within its interior. Punctuating the center of the composition are two well-dressed figures standing in front of white round table, with 2 wine glasses in front of them. The background of the painting is composed of an interesting mix of collage including wine labels and an image of a sail boat.
Containing elements of geometric abstraction, the artist has skilfully reconstructed the figures down to flat blocks of contrasting colours to demonstrate their three-dimensional form, whilst simultaneously emphasising the two-dimensional flatness of the canvas.
This oil on stretched canvas comes unframed, but can be hung as is. It is in excellent vintage condition.

An intriguing double sided oil on board: one side depicts a pair of women looking into a book, and the other side features a striking single portrait of a woman.
The painting of the two ladies with the book is very textured, with multi directional and distinct brushstrokes creating a very dynamic and layered image. On the other side, the portrait of the woman is smoother in texture overall, but still has a very three dimensional effect. The woman has an air of mystery about her, leaving us wondering what she might be thinking about.
Painted onto board, both paintings are in very good vintage condition and can be displayed on either side. There is some slight paint loss to the very edges of the board but certainly does not detract from the overall charm of either picture. It could be displayed in its current state on an easel or leant against a shelf. Should you wish to have it framed and would like our assistance, you can contact us via email info@discerningpalette.com.

A tranquil and atmospheric landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1992.
This scenic painting depicts a view of an open field surrounded by trees and barns. As the sun sets in the evening, its golden rays fill the sky and washes the fields with beautiful hues of yellow.
The painting is very well-balanced with an even distribution of sky and land. Through the use of gentle brushstrokes as well as calm lighter shades used to paint the sky and darker tones used to paint the landscape, the artist has skilfully managed to capture the soft sunset and the serenity of nature.

A simple yet very effective abstract composition in oil, painted onto canvas.
A set of bright abstract forms sit against a black background, teasing our eyes into an optical illusion. These elements excite the imagination – depending on the viewer various subjective interpretations can be made. Aside from any interpretation, the coloured forms are in themselves fascinating to look at due to the striking juxtaposition between them and the dark background.
The frame is housed in a simple red frame which adds to its striking effect. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition.

A charming mid century landscape view of Tenerife, executed in oil onto canvas.
This small yet striking painting is filled with details, and encourages the viewer to look further into the distance. In the front of the painting, we see a house and beautiful flora taking space on left and right corners of the painting. As our eyes study the piece further, we can spot 2 figures facing a lake, seemingly in conversation and enjoying the nature view with a hilly landscape in the background.
Using a rich colour palette in uplifting tones, the artist has applied textured and expressive brushstrokes to compose this restful landscape.
This painting is wonderfully presented in a gilt frame with patterned moulding. There is some very minor wear to the inner border of the frame, but otherwise both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

A truly striking and vibrant scene of a pair of roosters set within an expressive landscape dotted with trees and other animals. This painting has an exceptional three dimensional quality to it, with very thickly applied brightly coloured oils on the canvas. The artist has caked on the paint and has then shaped it, not using a brush, but with a palette and fingers. Here the artist has used the paint not simply to depict part of the picture, but to be part of the picture. These techniques are reminiscent of modernist artists such as Vincent Van Gogh, whose use of paint was often pronounced and dramatic, as is the case with this painting.
The scene taking place has much to offer, with other animals appearing in unexpected places. Every aspect of this picture has been given a life of its own – the swirls of the trees, the dynamic strokes of the sky, the comma like stabs of the grass. Wonderful contrasts of colour and different forms of paint applications lend a sense of depth, and create such an array of interesting features to notice.
This oil on stretched canvas is in excellent vintage condition. It is unframed but can be hung as is.

This modernist style painting strikes a fine balance between realism and abstraction. We see a calming and dreamy riverscape on the one hand, but the combination of bold lines, subjective use of colour and distinct forms and shapes adds an element of abstraction to the piece. We’re unable to tie the landscape to any particular place or moment in time, which lends a sense of mystery to the piece. It allows us to let our minds wander, transporting us to a distant place faraway, away from the stresses of everyday life. The post-impressionist elements of this painting would make it a good fit for a contemporary interior.
This oil on board comes unframed, and has minor surface marks on the edges that would be easily hidden by a frame.

This modernist ‘constructivist’ three dimensional work features cut out panels that have been painted in oil and assembled. The artist has used stripped down, geometric forms and modest materials. It is 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 artwork is intriguing to explore from many angles, and would make a striking addition to any space.
Both artwork and frame are in excellent condition.

A large and atmospheric mid 20th century modernist pastel and gouache composition, depicting boats docked at a harbour.
Using a restrained colour palette comprising shades of black, blue and yellow, the mellow and muted tones create an air of nostalgia in this piece.
Loose brushstrokes though executed in a seemingly swift and unrestrained manner, are thoughtful and precise – wonderfully capturing the transient conditions of light and water.
This pastel and gouache composition is housed beautifully in a wide-profiled light gilt (champagne) and silver frame. It is also glazed (there is a sheet of glass between the frame and the painting). The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some areas of scuffing commensurate with its age. Please note that due to the glass there are areas of reflection in the photographs.

It is mid afternoon, the house is quiet, and the kitchen is in repose. The cook takes a moment to rest her tired legs and aching back. She knows it won’t be long before the afternoon passes and dinner preparations for the family need to get going.

This wonderful mid-century painting with its stunning expressive brushwork and pastel palette embodies such a lovely narrative.

A fantastic mid-century modernist style composition of a harbour, executed in oil onto canvas.
The painting presents a vibrant scene of boats at a harbour, with seagulls flying in the clear blue sky.
The style of the painting is typically modernist in ethos, as the artist has deconstructed the scene down to blocks of contrasting shades, focusing on colour contrast to create a sense of depth and space.
Each respective shape seems to occupy its own distinct space, yet together they form a cohesive and harmonious whole.
The colour palette is rich and saturated, imbuing the work with a lively feel. And the painting has a soothing smooth finish.

An outstanding and visually striking mid century abstract oil painting by Swedish painter Hans Osswald (1919-1983), whose works have been exhibited at the National Museum in Stockholm, Malmö Museum as well as The Brooklyn Museum.
Using a restrained palette comprising shades of blue, black, green and white, large sweeping gestural brushstrokes fill the surface, creating a palpable sense of movement and dynamism. Abstract in composition, the artist has focused on texture and colour, creating a wonderful depth and interest through the use of layers of colour and texture. Osswald has added an aggregate to the paint, creating very distinct impasto and a three dimensional effect.
This oil on board is housed in a well-suited grey wood frame with an inner silver window. There are some water marks to the left side of the painting, although it looks like this might have occurred during the time of painting and not afterwards, so it might be intentional on the artist’s part. Overall, both the painting and frame are in very good vintage condition.
