Vintage Mid-Century Oil Painting, Abstract - Autumn Rhapsody, Hans Osswald

1950s

About the Item

AUTUMN RHAPSODY Oil on board Size: 32 x 58.5 cm (including frame) A rich and captivating mid-century abstract painting, executed in oil onto canvas 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. Created with a masterful technique, the artist has skillfully applied broad brushstrokes as well as layers of paint to build up a raised texture and dimension, adding depth and dynamism to the work. Warm earthy tones of predominantly shades of brown, orange, and yellow fill the canvas. These colours infuse the artwork with a sense of vitality, evoking the vibrancy of autumn foliage. There are also touches of white, black, and blue that have been strategically revealed to add a sense of balance and to emphasise the surrounding colours. The artist’s bold and confident use of all these hues reinforces the painting’s abstract nature and creates a visual feast for the eyes. This oil on canvas is housed in a well-suited gilt frame. The painting has scattered areas of light craquelure present, most notably in the upper dark brown section, but the paint layer is overall very stable. 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.

  • Contemporary British Abstract Landscape Framed Oil Painting - Urban Landscape
    Located in Bristol, GB
    URBAN LANDSCAPE Size: 38.5 x 53.5 cm (including frame) Oil on board A brilliantly executed semi- abstract landscape composition, painted in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood. The artist works in broad, expressive strokes, filling in the urban scene with a cacophony of colour. We see areas of the canvas as well as the artist’s outlines, giving it a very raw quality, emphasising the uncompromising nature of the urban landscape. This oil on board is housed in a complementary light blue frame with an inner white window that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition. About the artist: Ian Mood is a contemporary artist with an international reputation, having shown work with Saatchi London, Brooklyn Art Library, Battersea Art Fair & Manchester Art Fair – as well as being represented by numerous established galleries in the UK and US.

  • Contemporary Abstract Seascape Framed Oil Painting - Summer Abstraction
    Located in Bristol, GB
    SUMMER ABSTRACTION Size: 65.5 x 65.5 cm (including frame) Oil on board A very atmospheric abstract coastal scape painting, executed in oil onto board by contemporary British artist Ian Mood. Inspired by coastlines, this expansive abstract painting captures the essence of sea, sky and rain, and has a meditative quality. There is a sense of being awash – awash by colour, by nature, by the air, and by the sea. As our eyes move across the painting, the movement of the brushstrokes and the style of the drips and colour wash absorb our attention and settle our mind. This oil on board is housed in a complementary light blue frame with an inner white window that pairs wonderfully with the painting. Both painting and frame are in excellent condition.
