Mid Century Modern Swedish Abstract Landscape Oil Painting -Terracotta Coastline

1960s

About the Item

TERRACOTTA COASTLINE Size: 52 x 61 cm (including frame) Oil on board A captivating modernist abstract painting that evokes a coastal village set against a distant sea and seen from an elevated viewpoint, executed in oil onto board. The composition is built on a series of bold, gestural blocks of colour – burnt orange, yellow verdant green – suggesting terracotta roofs, foliage, and sunlit structures nestled in the hillside. The artist has used a distinctly expressive style, using thick, confident brushstrokes that emphasise texture and movement. The top half of the canvas opens into a serene, pale sky and a smooth, luminous band of blue sea, rendered in calm horizontal strokes that contrast with the dynamic geometry below. Hints of architectural forms and natural growth are abstracted into vivid planes and swaths of colour, capturing the atmosphere, structure, and vibrancy of a Mediterranean coastal scene. With its interplay of abstraction and suggestion, this work invites the viewer to linger and imagine. This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt 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.

Israeli Motke Blum Modernist Abstract Expressionist Oil Painting Bezalel Artist
By Motke Blum
Located in Surfside, FL
Motke Blum was born in Racacun, Romania in 1925. Early in his childhood, the Blum family moved to Bucharest where they settled in a house situated near a circus. The circus would become young Blum's greatest love. He befriended several of the clowns and other performers and, when not painting or playing in clay, Blum could be found enjoying the company of these spirited entertainers. These experiences would later become a recurring theme in many of his works of art. In 1938, he was taken by the Romanian Iron Guard. When the Germans invaded Romania, Blum was taken to a forced labor camp. Even during his imprisonment, he continued to create art, painting on the walls of the camp. He escaped the Nazi camp in 1944 and boarded an immigrants' ship to Israel. One of the three ships in the convoy was sunk by a German torpedo. Motke later incorporated shipwrecks, boats, and other maritime subjects into several of his paintings. Studies, Bezalel, Jerusalem, Enamel, Silversmithing, Painting and Sculpture. 1956 Seminar in the dep. of design in the royal silver factory of Zeist, The Netherlands. Over the course of his long and fruitful career, Blum showed internationally at over fifty one-man-shows with exhibits in Israel, Holland, England, Belgium, the United States, France, Australia, and more. His art has been commissioned for public buildings and by prominent figures in Israel and around the world, and a series of posters were commissioned by the Justice Ministry and the Ministry of Tourism.

Head to Sea, Modernist sailing scene
By Ralph Eugene Della-Volpe
Located in Greenwich, CT
A vibrant and yet romantic sailing scene which was a favorite series by Della-Volpe. His compelling colorist approach has made his works desirable as he was one of the few artists post-war to be representative in style like Milton Avery and Wolf Kahn. Head to Sea has the hallmark intense and lovely coloration for which Della-Volpe is known. He came out of Abstract Expressionism in the New York school but then pivoted, like Milton Avery to representational, colorist work. The frame is a silvered gold leaf float frame of quality and has a rubbed, antiqued surface...
