Mid-Century Modern Naïve Style Figurative Oil Painting - Courtyard Harvest

1960s

About the Item

COURTYARD HARVEST Size: 64.5 x 75 cm (including frame) Oil on board An expressive and naïve style mid-century figurative painting, executed in oil onto canvas. The composition captures a courtyard scene where a group of figures, dressed in dark clothing and wide-brimmed hats, are engaged in harvesting and transporting produce. Two trees with delicate red blossoms stand in the center, adding vibrancy to the composition, while a figure in blue pushes a wooden cart filled with fruit. The painting is executed in a naïve or folk-art style, characterised by simplified forms, a lack of precise perspective, and a slightly flattened spatial composition. The figures are stylised, with minimal detail. The artist has used loose, expressive brushstrokes with light texture, contributing to the painting’s lively and dynamic quality. This oil on board is housed in a complementary frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffing. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age.

Vintage Mid-Century Modern Mini Swedish Figurative Portrait Painting - Whispers
Located in Bristol, GB
WHISPERS Mixed Media on Board Size: 30 x 37 cm (including frame) A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board. Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves...
