Parisian Street, Mid-Century Swedish Painting

A very well executed mid-century modernist oil painting that captures the essence of a serene Parisian cityscape, signed by the established Swedish artist Max Gregor Carlsson (1914-1996), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Malmö Museum, Eskilstuna Art Museum, Ystads Museum, Norrköping City Collection, the Landskrona Konsthall. In the foreground, a graceful bridge spans across a tranquil river. The bridge guides our gaze to the background of the painting, which features rows of neatly arranged buildings and touches of greenery. The painting has a rather structured feel – brought forth through the use of geometric shapes to represent the architectural forms, as well as the orderly use of a limited and muted colour palette. This oil on canvas is housed in a slim wood frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has some wear in keeping with its age. Size: 55.5 x 67 cm (including frame)...more
