Mid-Century French Original Oil Painting on Stretched Canvas of Still-Life

About the Item

A wonderful example of a vintage, mid-century still-life: a soft, harmonious color-scheme and a natural subject that has, together with the background, been interpreted in a graphic style. A calm yet interesting piece of original art that will easily fit and embellish a contemporary interior. The painting has been sourced in Alsace, France and is most likely made by a French artist painting under the signature of A.M. (see lower right corner). The painting is not dated but considering its overall condition, it most likely dates from around the 1950s. The painting is sold in its original wood frame. The frame is made of solid wood and has been painted grey with a thin white liner also in wood. The frame has a distressed yet sophisticated look that enhances the paintings visual appeal. It is worth mentioning the crafted/hand-made character of the wood stretcher and the brown canvas (see back). This is clearly not a commercially, pre-fabricated stretcher. In addition, the frame has been carefully fitted into the frame with the help of extra cardboard liners and bits of cork (see photos). In good vintage condition. The painting has not been cleaned, I leave that decision up to the new owner. There are no structural issues. The stretched canvas is in good condition: no holes, no scratches. Both the painting and the frame only show minor wear consistent with use and age (see photos). Dimension: height 56 cm/ 22", width 48 cm/ 18 3/4", depth 7 cm/ 2 3/4". Weight: 1860 g/ 4.1 lbs

  • Mid-Century Modern French Original Signed Oil Panting of Wine Still-Life
    Located in COLMAR, FR
    A moody still-life very much in a mid-century spirit. This vintage oil painting on stretched canvas has been sourced in the wine region of Alsace, France. It is very likely that it has been painted in this region as well since the wine bottles and the tall glass depicted have the typical shapes of Alsace wine bottles wine glasses. The painting is signed by the artist in the lower right corner and dated December (XII) 1960. In addition, as can be seen in the lower left corner, the painting has been dedicated to René Fullgraff (In Memoriam). The artist has efficiently experimented with contrasts of dark shadows and lighter, sharp reflections in this artwork. There is also a visible study of vertical and horizontal lines still visible. And last but not least, a lovely work with layers and textures (see photos). The result is a somewhat dramatic and masculine, mid-century still-life. Perfect for a dining room, kitchen or library. Maybe over a MCM bar cart...
