SUNLIT FACADES
Size: 12.6 x 16.5 inches (including frame)
Oil on canvas
A charming mid-century modernist painting that captures a quiet village street in Spain, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1958.
The composition is anchored by whitewashed buildings with yellow and terracotta roofs, stacked geometrically against a bright sky. The perspective flattens the scene slightly, lending a graphic, almost cubist sensibility.
Rendered in oil, the artist has used confident, blocky brushstrokes to define shadows and forms. Angular planes and muted earth tones – sage green, charcoal grey, and hints of warm brown - contrast with brilliant whites and a crisp blue sky. The painting captures the play of sunlight on architecture, with simplified details like shuttered windows, steep stone steps, and doors suggested rather than articulated.
There is a distinct sense of rhythm in the repetition of rooftops and telegraph lines that echo across the canvas.
This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary and well made wood frame with an inner linen border. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.
