1959 Mid Century Modern Vintage Still Life Oil Painting - A Moment Left Behind

1959

About the Item

A MOMENT LEFT BEHIND Oil on canvas Size: 43 x 39 cm (including frame) A modernist style interior still life composition that captures a quiet moment, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1959. The painting features a table with a yellow chair in the foreground, set against a background of geometric planes in muted tones. On the table, a green bottle with a red seal, a glass, and a small red bowl are arranged across a pink tablecloth. A dark green jacket is draped casually over another chair, adding an element of human presence without directly depicting a figure. The painting embraces a modernist approach. The perspective is slightly flattened, and the shapes of objects are reduced to their essential forms. The artist has utilised strong but subtle structural lines to define space. The colour palette features predominantly muted shades of blues, greys, and pinks, which imbue the work with a calm and slightly melancholic atmosphere. This oil on canvas is housed in complementary gilt and white ridged frame. The painting is in excellent vintage condition, and the frame has minor scuffs but this is in keeping with its vintage style. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age.

Morning Light
By Maryann Lucas
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
“Morning Light” epitomizes the abundance of Spring with its bustling bouquet of white lilies, yellow roses, and a sliced open, ready to be eaten pink grapefruit. Despite the levity of the scene, Lucas has challenged herself with space, making a clear contrast between subject and background. She is consciously rejecting the “ironed on” effect of a subject onto a canvas, a trap to which lesser artists might succumb. Artist Bio Maryann Lucas lives and works in Sag Harbor. She is primarily self-taught but has also received instruction and support from wonderful and generous members of the East End artistic community. Working exclusively in oils, Lucas sets out almost daily to create plein aire landscapes and seascapes. In her studio, she works directly from life and captures the beauty of natural light as it transforms ordinary objects into visual delights. Lucas wants her work to celebrate all that is well with this world and brilliant in this life, despite its pockets of darkness. For me, she says, I know I am in the Presence of something beautiful, when it steals my breath, silences my mind, pushes out everything else and draws me in. I trust That. I use That to guide my hands as I arrange a still life or scan a landscape to determine where to set down my easel. Ultimately, That is what drives me to paint. Becoming evermore skilled as an oil painter is another of Lucas goals. To that end she remains teachable, finding it refreshing and vital for her own growth to paint with others. She has studied with favorite artists including Michael Klein...
