About the Item

THE ARRANGEMENT Size: 37 x 50 cm (including frame) Oil on canvas A soothing mid-century modernist still life painting that captures a quietly sophisticated domestic scene, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1956. The composition brings together a collection of everyday vessels – cups, jugs, bowls, and sculptural forms – arranged along a table in a harmonious interplay of shape and space. The painting favours a subdued palette of earthy sand, muted greys, pale greens, soft whites, and dusty pinks. These tones are carefully balanced to evoke a sense of calm and cohesion, while the curved and angular geometries of the objects introduce dynamic tension. The artist has used broad, expressive brushstrokes, giving the surface a tactile, almost sculptural quality. Edges are softened rather than sharply defined, lending the work a contemplative, introspective tone. This is a piece that quietly commands attention through its meditative balance of form and colour – a testament to the modernist ethos of finding beauty in simplicity. This oil on canvas is housed in a very well-suited hessian lined wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has very minor scuffs. 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.
