Mid-Century Modern Swedish Street Scene Landscape Oil Painting - Row of Houses

1950s

About the Item

ROW OF HOUSES Size: 31 x 35 cm (including frame) Oil on Canvas Board An expressive and lively mid-century modernist style composition, executed in oil onto canvas board. Small yet impact in its composition, the painting presents a row of houses lined by a street, with a view of a lush green forest landscape that extends out to the background. Painted in a semi-abstract manner, all realistic details have been omitted and the artist has skilfully used planes and blocks of contrasting colours and distinct brushwork to demonstrate a sense of depth. The brushstrokes used are broad and fluid, and have been very confidently executed, imbuing the painting with an energetic feel, and the colour palette used is rich and uplifting. This oil on canvas board is housed in a complementary gilt frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some scuff marks. 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.
