PEAR HARVEST
Size: 33 x 42 cm (including frame)
Oil on board
A compelling and characterful still life composition executed in oil on board and dated 1964, by the established Swedish artist Eric Cederberg (1897-1984), whose artworks have been represented in several public and museum collections across Sweden.
The composition features four pears clustered in an intimate arrangement, their irregular forms casting deep shadows on a softly textured tabletop. Rendered in thick, deliberate strokes, the pears exhibit a range of green and golden tones, highlighting the subtle variations in ripeness and light. The background is divided into muted blocks of beige and muted pink, adding a sense of modernist abstraction while allowing the forms to remain grounded and tangible.
The brushwork is notably expressive, with impasto applications lending a tactile, almost sculptural quality to the fruit and surface. Each pear is defined not by rigid outlines but by nuanced tonal shifts and textural contrasts, embodying the artist’s sensitivity to both form and mood. The overall effect is contemplative and earthy, inviting viewers to revel in the simple beauty of everyday objects,
This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. The frame has some minor scuffing but is in good condition overall.

Eric Cederberg
Eric Cederberg represents a subtle but no less significant strand of Nordic Surrealism. Working in the postwar period, he developed a Surrealist approach influenced by Magritte— calm, lucid, and rich in visual paradox. His paintings reveal a poetic logic at once restrained and unsettling, emblematic of a “smooth Surrealism” unique to the North. Though he worked outside formal Surrealist circles, his contribution demonstrates how deeply Surrealist thought penetrated Nordic art by the mid-20th century, reshaping everyday scenes into sites of symbolic transformation. - Biography by Nagas, New York
