Description
A mid-century modernist painting that presents a tranquil seaside scene, executed in oil onto board. The painting features two abstracted figures seated near a boat. The figure on the left, clad in a striking yellow coat, appears to be engaged in quiet reflection, while the darker-clothed figure in the foreground seems to be writing or sketching. A boat, rendered in bold strokes of blue and red, rests on the shore, adding a strong geometric contrast to the muted landscape. Executed in a modernist style, the artist has skilfully simplified the forms into blocks of contrasting shades, and has used a restrained yet effective palette. The vibrant yellow of the coat and the red of the boat capture our attention, as they stand out among the overall subdued shades that imbue the work with a soothing quality. The brushstrokes are thick and expressive, applied with a sense of immediacy and texture that enhances the paintings tactile quality. The composition is carefully balanced, with the diagonal placement of the boat and figures guiding the viewers eye across the painting, creating a sense of depth. This oil on board is housed in a complementary champagne frame with an inner linen border. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Size: 35 x 44 cm (including frame)
