Mid-Century Modern "Houses by the Pines" Swedish Vintage Landscape Oil Painting, Framed

An exceptional mid century modernist landscape composition, executed in oil onto canvas. In this delightful landscape composition, pine trees are presented in an open forest, with rows of coloured houses behind them. As we explore the painting, the wide spectrum of rich and saturated colours used in this work draws the viewer in, and makes it a visual feast for the eyes. The artist displays an excellent understanding of colour relationship, as he layers and pairs contrasting shades using short and brisk brushstrokes, establishing a harmonious and well-balanced feel whilst adding a textural quality to the painting. As we pay close attention to the pine trees, we notice that the artist has also created an effective colour gradient transition from light shades of orange at the top to darker shades of brown towards the bottom. We can perhaps discern that artist was trying to capture sunlight hitting the top part of the trees, juxtaposed against the shadier interior of the woods. This oil on board is housed in a well-suited wood frame with an inner gilt and linen lining. Both painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Size: 45 X 37 cm (including frame).
