Mid Century Modern Swedish Expressive Still Life Oil Painting - Buckets & Hooks

1960s

About the Item

BUCKETS & HOOKS Size: 48 x 38 cm (including frame) Oil on board An expressive and richly textured mid-century still life that captures the quiet composure of everyday objects, executed in oil onto board. At the heart of the composition is a weathered metal bucket, its rough, encrusted surface rendered with thick impasto and moody tones of charcoal, slate blue, and rust. A ladle leans from within, its handle jutting diagonally, adding a sense of tension and movement. The backdrop features a muted yellow and pale green wall, juxtaposed with a roughly painted white panel adorned with loosely defined horseshoes or hooks. The painting focuses on bold, tactile brushstrokes and the expressive potential of everyday objects. The artist uses a restrained palette – with dynamic textural application, evoking a sense of age, labour, and quiet domestic resilience. This oil on board is housed in a stunning dark wood frame with visible grain. 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.

Richard Jerzy Watercolor "Red Chair" Interior with Flowers & Chair
By Richard Jerzy
Located in Detroit, MI
"Red Chair," though an interior scene, is arranged like a still-life with the furniture and objects slightly off-kilter in the creative manner of Marc Chagall's interiors, the Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. These non-fixed objects lend a floating energetic atmosphere and the brilliant colors contribute to the liveliness of this warm inviting interior. Richard Jerzy was a well-known watercolor artist from the Detroit, Michigan area. His signature works were figures and still lives, and many famous Michigan families are collectors. "He was probably the most promising, successful, exciting artist in the state of Michigan," said Miriam Parel, a fellow artist and friend for more than 30 years. He grew up on Detroit's east side and developed an interest in painting as a teenager. He attended Detroit's Center (now College) for Creative Studies. Other well- known CCS faculty and graduates are Susan Aaron-Taylor, Harry Bertoia, Doug Chaing, Stephen Dinehart, Tyree Guyton...
