Edvard Andersson
Vintage Mid-Century Modern Swedish Geometric Abstract Oil Painting Masquerade

1950s

About the Item

MASQUERADE Size: 59 x 53.5 cm (including frame) Oil on Board A lively and captivating mid-century geometric abstract composition, executed in oil onto board by the established Swedish artist Edvard Andersson (1891-1967), who’s artworks have been represented in several prominent institutions across Malmö, Stockholm, Copenhagen, and also at Helsingborgs Museum. The painting is filled with an array of geometric shapes painted in rich bold tones of brown, black, yellow, blue, and turquoise. These shapes collide and overlap, creating a rhythmic interplay across the surface. Amidst the abstract nature of the painting, a subtle mask-like form, a building block, as well as silhouettes of figures emerge, adding a touch of mystery to the composition. This oil on board is housed in a complementary slim wood frame. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. 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.

1950s Signed Abstract Oil & Metal Foil on Board Textured Painting 'Warlock'
Located in Denver, CO
This original abstract oil and metal foil on board painting titled Warlock by George Cecil Carter (1908-1987) dates back to the 1950s. The piece is a striking example of Abstract Expressionism, painted in dynamic shades of dark blue, gray, white, orange, and purple. The artist's use of textured metal foil and oil paint creates an intriguing interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the piece's modernist appeal. Signed by Carter in the lower right corner, and titled and dated on the verso, this unique work is presented in its original George Nix frame, measuring 30 ¾ x 36 ¾ inches, with the image size itself measuring 23 ¼ x 29 ¼ inches. About the Artist: George Cecil Carter was born in 1908 in Woodward, Oklahoma, and became a prominent figure in the Colorado Abstract Expressionist scene. Despite having no formal artistic training, Carter developed a distinctive style, influenced by his diverse life experiences. He worked in various industries, including as a coal miner, gold miner, and machinist at Schneebeck's Industries in Colorado Springs for 20 years. During this time, Carter honed his artistic skills under the mentorship of Charles Bunnell, a painter from the Broadmoor Academy. Carter’s works reflect the boldness and emotional intensity of Abstract Expressionism, with vivid colors and strong compositions. He worked primarily out of Colorado Springs and Canon City, Colorado, and exhibited his art nationally, including shows in Texas and Illinois. His contemporaries included fellow Colorado artists such as Al Wynne, Mary Chenoweth...
