Mid Century Oil Painting of a Pig in Black and White, around 1974

About the Item

This mid-century oil painting from around 1974 presents a striking black-and-white portrayal of a pig, rendered with bold contrast and expressive brushwork. The monochromatic palette lends the subject a graphic intensity, emphasizing form, shadow, and texture over color. With confident strokes and a raw, almost abstract quality, the artist captures both the physicality and character of the animal. The pig's features are exaggerated yet grounded, evoking a sense of curiosity and quiet presence. Likely influenced by the era’s shift toward expressive realism and minimalist aesthetics, this work balances simplicity with emotional depth. Its unusual subject matter, paired with a refined execution, gives it a compelling, modern edge. Whether interpreted as a study in form or a symbolic figure, this painting is a rare and captivating example of 1970s mid-century oil work—perfect for collectors drawn to bold, unconventional imagery. A unique piece which is a great eye-catcher for your antique, modern, space age or mid-century interior. If you have any more questions we are very happy to help and send you more details, photos, videos, a shipping quote or information. All pieces are looked after in our own restoration workshop. We also can do new upholstery cover or other special requests. Please ask.
