Untitled (Swedish Art Deco Figurative Painting) Circa 1945
This elegant Art Deco oil painting on canvas was realized in Sweden, circa 1945. It presents a stylized nude man with mocha hued skin crouching against a sea of abstract forms in tones of forest green, midnight blue and cornflower. The figure's posture loosely recalls the thinker, while his physicality (especially his pronounced musculature) recalls an interpretation of Atlas. Regardless of one's interpretation of the piece, it is a visually arresting painting with a sophisticated palate that demonstrates a masterly command of the medium. It would be a winning addition to any style of interior from classic Art Deco to contemporary. It comes presented in a channeled and gilded custom gallery frame and is in excellent vintage condition.
