Vintage Mid-Century Swedish Framed Nude Figurative Oil Painting - Helene 1961

1961

About the Item

HELENE Size: 55.5 x 38.5 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas A brilliant modernist-style figurative painting of a nude, executed in oil and dated 1961. The composition captures a standing nude within a minimalist interior setting. Placed against lightly-coloured walls, the absence of extraneous details draws attention to the portrayal of the subject. The standing figure, bathed in muted and naturalistic tones, emanates a quiet elegance. The colour palette, delicately chosen, imparts a softness to the painting, creating an atmosphere of subtle intimacy. The artist employs expressive and distinct brushstrokes with confidence, skillfully rendering the three-dimensional qualities of the standing nude. The use of varying shades within each brushstroke highlights the contours of her form, allowing the viewer to appreciate the subtle interplay of light and shadow. Furthermore, the artist’s deliberate omission of her facial features directs our focus to her graceful form. This oil on canvas has been laid onto board, is housed in a complementary frame with a hessian lined outer border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some minor scuffing to its inner window. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age.

  • Parisian Model
    By Max Weber
    Located in Palm Desert, CA
    "Parisian Model" is an oil on canvas painting by Max Weber painted in 1908. The work is signed and dated, lower right, "Max Weber Paris 1908". The painting size is 35 1/2 x 19 5/8 inches. The framed size is 43 x 27 x 2 1/4 inches. "Parisian Model" was painted in 1908, when Weber participated in a life class in Matisse's studio in Paris and painted several nudes. Weber was influenced toward a more Cubist styler after seeing Cezanne's work in the 1906-07 Salon in Paris, and he consorted within avant-garde circles in Paris as early as 1905. After returning to the US in 1909, Weber was credited with showing American audiences Cubism based on his firsthand knowledge of the key players and the style. Several drawings of Weber's from this time are in museum collections at The Met, the Smithsonian, and MoMA and show a similar style and stocatto gesture. Parisian paintings by Max Weber are extremely rare as there are hardly any that have sold publicly. Provenance: Estate of the Artist Gerald Peters Gallery...
