Vintage Mid-Century Modern Swedish Framed Still Life Oil Painting-Lemons & Pots

1949

About the Item

LEMONS & POTS Oil on Board Size: 48.5 x 55.5 cm (including frame) A visually striking and expressive modernist still life composition, executed in oil onto board and dated 1949. The painting presents a group of objects including 2 lemons, 2 pots and a red napkin laid across a table, and set against a richly coloured backdrop. Through the masterful use of the colour gradient technique employing contrasting shades, as well as expressive and painterly brushstrokes, the three-dimensional objects are enhanced and the overall composition is full of character. Furthermore, in leaving areas of the board exposed, the artist’s creative use of negative space demonstrates a sense of space and also draws our attention to the expressive quality of the brushstrokes. This oil on board is housed in a complementary stained wood frame with an inner taupe window. There is some wear to the frame’s outer edges, and some surface marks to the window and frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age. This can sometimes include slight changes in colour, yellowing to the varnish, and minor bumps and bruises. We have tried to include as many close-up photos as possible. Should you need more photos or wish to ask us more questions regarding an item’s condition, feel free to contact us, we are always happy to help.

  • Enid Munroe Mid Century Modernist Oil Painting Still Life with Fruit and Bread
    By Enid Munroe
    Located in Surfside, FL
    Genre: Modern Subject: Kitchen still life with pineapple, sourdough bread and lemons Medium: oil paint, done in a sgraffito, impasto somewhat brutalist technique Surface: board Country: United States Dimensions: 18 X 24 Being sold unframed Enid Munroe re-establishes the aesthetic worth of ordinary manufactured objects within the basic form language of Cubism. In her painting the artist uses trompe-l'oeil to render her composition, involving realistic imagery in order to create the optical illusion that the depicted objects exist in three dimensions. Enid Munroe is an artist and teacher who is well known regionally for her paintings, works on paper and Gold leaf, silver leaf, trompe l’oeil collage and assemblage series. She has been included in numerous invitational and juried exhibitions both nationally and regionally. Her works are in leading public, corporate and private collections including the Brooklyn Museum and the National Museum of American Art. Munroe cites painter Georgia O’Keeffe as one her influences and sources of inspiration. “Georgia O’Keeffe really helped lift the concept of women as artists,” stated Munroe. Munroe lived and worked in Mexico, Japan and Italy before settling in Connecticut. She is the author of An Artist in the Garden: A Guide to Creative and Natural Gardening (Henry Holt & Co, 1994) and has been active in regional art events including the founding of the annual Pequot Library...
