About the Item

SPANISH WALKS Size: 24 x 37 cm (including frame) Oil on Board An outstanding semi-abstract oil composition, painted in 1958 by the established Swedish artist Ivar Morsing (1919-2009), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Kalmar Museum, and Jönköping Museum. The composition presents 3 figures strolling through a town in Córdoba in Spain. Containing elements of abstraction, the artist has deliberately omitted realistic details, and has skilfully deconstructed the scene and figures down to blocks of contrasting colour. The use of short and expressive brushstrokes creates a sense of energy throughout the painting as well as a light textural quality. The dominant use of rich brown and cream shades in various intensities create a warm and earthy atmosphere, and the variation in contrasting tones help to create depth and three-dimensionality. This oil on board is housed in a complementary black frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs but this does not detract from the overall appearance. 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.
