1949 Vintage Mid-Century Modernist Landscape Oil Painting - Modernist Monuments

1949

About the Item

MODERNIST MONUMENTS Size: 57 x 64 cm (including frame) Oil on Canvas laid onto board A soothing and very pleasant mid-century modernist style landscape composition, executed in oil and dated 1949. The painting presents red houses as well as a church sprawled across a lush landscape setting. Painted with a modernist ethos and with expressive brushwork, the artist has skilfully deconstructed the scene down to distinct blocks of contrasting colours. An array of muted pastel shades including greens, orange, red, and purples have been used, imbuing the painting with an uplifting feel. Furthermore, by leaving areas of the canvas exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space accentuates the shapes of the objects, drawing our attention to their distinct form. This oil on canvas has been laid onto board and is housed in a beautiful wood frame with visible grains. The painting has some wear to the upper edge of the canvas surface but it is stable. The frame has slight widening to its corner joins. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age. This can sometimes include slight changes in colour, yellowing to the varnish, and minor bumps and bruises. We have tried to include as many close-up photos as possible. Should you need more photos or wish to ask us more questions regarding an item’s condition, feel free to contact us, we are always happy to help.
