Description
Vintage Mid-Century Modern Swedish Original Still Life Oil Painting BROWN & BLACK Size: 65.6 x 74.5 cm (including frame) Oil on Board A striking original mid-century modernist composition, painted onto board & dated 1968 by the established Swedish artist Gunnar Hållander (1915-1980), whose artworks have been represented in public collections including the National Museum & Moderna Museet in Stockholm, the Sundsvall Museum, & the Institut Tessinin in Paris. A group of mostly unidentifiable objects in a very restrained palette sit against a grey background. This still life leans towards abstraction, with the artist focusing on the forms of the objects & how the elements interact with one another. There is an invisible tension between the objects, as they push & pull against one another. However, there is a very balanced rhythm through the picture, encouraging us viewers to weave our view in & out, up & down & around the composition to explore the form of each object. The artist uses a restrained palette - the picture is almost monochrome, except for the pops of orange & pink, which draws our eyes to the centre of the picture. There is a wonderful depth to the composition, as well as a very satisfying matte finish to the overall surface. This original oil on board is wonderfully presented in a distressed frame with an inner linen border. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, & the frame has slight wear but this suits its overall distressed style. Tracking number will be provided once your painting has shipped.
