This mid-century oil on canvas by Catalan painter Simó Busom i Grau presents a vibrant Mediterranean landscape with river and house, painted in an expressive postwar Spanish style associated with the Barcelona school. Artist: Simó Busom i Grau (Barcelona, 1927–2020) Title: Mediterranean Landscape with River and House Date: Mid-20th Century (circa 1950s–1960s) Medium: Oil on canvas Canvas size: 46 x 55 cm (18.1 x 21.6 in) Framed size: 59 x 68 cm (23.2 x 26.8 in) Signature: Signed lower right Condition: Good overall condition. Stable paint layer. Frame: Decorative frame included, ready to hang Location: Sitges, Spain Style: Spanish Postwar Landscape / Mediterranean Modern A refined example of postwar Catalan landscape painting, this original oil by Simó Busom i Grau captures the Mediterranean atmosphere through confident brushwork and luminous color transitions. The composition centers around a warm yellow house set against rolling terrain and flowing water. Gestural trees structure the foreground, creating depth and movement while framing the landscape. The artist’s handling of paint is energetic yet controlled, with visible impasto and layered color planes that enhance texture and spatial presence. The palette moves between cool river blues and sunlit earth tones, reflecting the light and tonal vibration characteristic of mid-20th century Spanish painting. The result is a work that balances decorative appeal with painterly authenticity. Compact in size yet visually dynamic, it functions beautifully in residential interiors or curated collections of European mid-century art. The painting is signed and offered with decorative frame, ready to hang. Simó Busom i Grau (Barcelona, 1927–2020) was a Catalan painter trained at the Acadèmia Baixas in Barcelona. He developed a career closely linked to the city’s artistic circuit, exhibiting regularly in Barcelona and Madrid and maintaining connections with the historic Sala Parés. His work focused primarily on Mediterranean and urban landscapes, characterized by expressive brushwork, structural clarity and a luminous color palette rooted in modern Catalan tradition.
