Midcentury Modern Hand Painted Abstract Oil on Canvas Painting American Skyline
About the Item
Stunning, one of a kind, mint condition and signed Modernist painting.
For very good reasons the midcentury modern era has become extremely popular amongst interior designers and design enthousiasts the world over. Finding the right credenza for your New York apartment should not be too difficult, because usually there are several on offer on 1stdibs. However, finding the ideal work of art to have on your wall over your credenza is not easy at all. And that is exactly what we thought of when we first saw the size and the subject matter of this amazing, mint condition and all hand-painted oil on canvas. It fits in perfectly with the midcentury time period, the Modernist technique that was used to create this abstract painting is simply wonderful and aesthetically brilliant and the subject matter (we believe) could not be more perfect for our American clientele. To us, this is like the New York skyline in the evening with the lights of downtown Manhattan reflecting on the water and for someone this work of art must feel like coming home. The technique really is unlike anything we have ever seen, because this painting is almost more like a sculpture than a painting. Even though we had to pay a premium for this 'all boxes ticking work of art' we really wanted to have it, because we are certain this will make somebody very happy. As so often is the case, this unique and immaculate painting is so much better looking in real life than in any of our photos. You can, again, take our word for it. This Modernist masterpiece is presented in its original frame and in the left bottom corner is the (hard to read) signature of P. Brouwer. We are not at all knowledgable when it comes to painters, but that never stopped us from buying really rare and highly attractive paintings that stand out from anything we have ever seen. And this abstract skyline painting, we feel, should simply be mounted over a credenza in a midcentury modern (inspired) or in a contemporary design, American living room or office. If you can already imagine it gracing yours, then maybe you should be its next custodian.
Our fair price for this unique and very stylish painting includes perfect packing and also worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 to 6 days.

- Antique Oil on Canvas Painting Showing Emotional Clown / Mime Masks by I. WeytsLocated in Lisse, NLMarvellous and good size work of theater art. In the pre-television and pre-movie Arts and Crafts era much more was communicated via stage performers and via drawings and paintings. This naive style painting, in an artistic manner shows us some of the most recognizable of human emotions. Also because most people (circa 1900) could not yet read, clowns and mime players were some of the most important story tellers using body and facial expressions only. Most of them were so good at what they did that, even without words, everyone knew exactly what they were communicating. 'Floating in the air' and against the dark background these mime or clown masks...Category

- Antique Oil on Canvas Painting Arabic Male & Camel in Desert Protecting SpouseLocated in Lisse, NL19th century, one of a kind, oil painting in a more modern, golden colored wooden frame. We know that in the 19th century many renowned European artists went on 'study trips' to all parts of the globe and many of them loved the totally different world they would find there. They were so inspired by what they witnessed in these totally different cultures that some of them created their best ever work in that period. This beautiful painting has a lot going for it and we especially love the colors and the lightness of this Arab or possibly North African composition. Besides that, this wonderful painting also tells a story. One of a traveling man having to protect his spous against, what look to be, two desert robbers on horses. You can imagine the fear that this would give a woman with a small child, being so far away from everything and literally in the middle of nowhere. Many of the details are incredibly well painted, but we particularly love the way the stunning camel is portrayed, but also the clothes of the people and the serene face of the small child are marvelous details to look at. Unfortunately we don't know who painted this work of beauty, but we would not be surprised if there are connoisseurs out there that do. One of the most difficult things in interior design, we feel, is decorating the walls. We are no specialist in selling antique paintings, but whenever we get a chance to purchase a beautiful hand-painted oil on canvas from the Victorian era then we always try to acquire it. Especially when the details and colors are as good and vibrant as in this 19th century painting. The fact that there is some type of 'action' going on too lifts it above the average. This Arab subject matter also is very rare and besides the folds in the painting (where the inner edges of the frame underneith are), this antique work of art truly is in superb condition and a gem to behold. To us, this is the perfect painting for an eclectic interior or for anyone with an Arab or Moroccan Style (inspired) interior. If you like the look and feel of this fine quality, antique Victorian era painting...Category
