A wonderfully executed modernist figurative oil composition, signed and dated 1978 by the established Swedish artist Ture Fabiansson (1910-1994), whose works have been exhibited in public collections including the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, The Museum of Art in Gothenburg, Jönköping Museum, Borås Art Museum, and many others. The painting encapsulates the essence of a modernist aesthetic, with a minimalist approach and focus on capturing the inherent beauty and simplicity of everyday moments.

This oil on canvas is in a complementary slim gilt frame. Painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Size: 50 x 64 cm (including frame)...more
