Vintage Mid-Century Modern Figurative Portrait Painting - Nude on Chair

1960s

About the Item

SEATED NUDE FIGURE Oil on Canvas Size: 73.5 x 68.5 cm (including frame) A large and striking mid-century modernist style nude figurative painting, executed in oil onto board. A female nude figure seated on a chair punctuates the center of the composition. She is positioned in a relaxed pose, yet her lack of facial features lends an air of mystery. The background is striking, dominated by a large block of red, which contrasts harmoniously with smaller panels of blue and green that both have yellow undertones. The artist has used short and expressive brushstrokes, creating a lightly textured surface. Colours are layered thoughtfully, blending the bold with the subdued, resulting in a painting that evokes a soothing quality amidst vibrant energy. This large oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner linen border. 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.
