Oil on board

A striking mid-century modernist semi-abstract figurative painting, executed in oil onto board and dated 1964.

The composition captures a dynamic and abstracted scene of three figures engaged in daily activities. It suggests a communal or domestic setting, possibly depicting women preparing food or engaged in household chores. The artist has used geometric forms and angular lines to construct the figures, giving them an expressive presence.

Rendered in a bold, textured technique, the painting showcases an earthy, muted palette dominated by yellows, deep blues, browns, and warm neutrals. The brushstrokes are heavily applied, creating a layered, almost sculptural surface that enhances the raw energy of the composition. The background features a loosely defined architectural or patterned element, adding depth while maintaining the abstract nature of the piece.

Strongly influenced by Cubist and modernist traditions, this work exemplifies the mid-century aesthetic with its fusion of abstraction and figurative storytelling, making it a compelling addition to any collection of modernist art.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary gilt frame with an inner linen and gilt border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. See less
