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.

Richard Jerzy Watercolor "Red Chair" Interior with Flowers & Chair
By Richard Jerzy
Located in Detroit, MI
"Red Chair," though an interior scene, is arranged like a still-life with the furniture and objects slightly off-kilter in the creative manner of Marc Chagall's interiors, the Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. These non-fixed objects lend a floating energetic atmosphere and the brilliant colors contribute to the liveliness of this warm inviting interior. Richard Jerzy was a well-known watercolor artist from the Detroit, Michigan area. His signature works were figures and still lives, and many famous Michigan families are collectors. "He was probably the most promising, successful, exciting artist in the state of Michigan," said Miriam Parel, a fellow artist and friend for more than 30 years. He grew up on Detroit's east side and developed an interest in painting as a teenager. He attended Detroit's Center (now College) for Creative Studies. Other well- known CCS faculty and graduates are Susan Aaron-Taylor, Harry Bertoia, Doug Chaing, Stephen Dinehart, Tyree Guyton...
