Erik Olson Original Mid Century Print Sweden Click Here for More Information or to Purchase  I am continuously surprised and sometimes a bit saddened by what is available in charity shops and flea markets here in Sweden. Some of the artwork that I sell online at   Vintage Art Room   is found at "loppis" (flea market) here. When I am at "loppisar" (plural for flea market!) I have to sort through a lot of artwork- it's a very dirty job actually. I think that for every 100-150 paintings I look at I am lucky to find one good one. The Swede's were quite prolific painters both amateurs and professional up until about the 70's. I don't find much work produced in the 80's and on.  When I come across pieces like this print mid century print by Erik Olson of the Swedish art circle Halmstadgruppen I am amazed.  There is a museum here in Sweden devoted solely to the Halmstad Group called Mjellby Art Museum . The museum says that the Halmstad G...

Large Vintage Landscape Oil Painting from Sweden in Original Frame SOLD Click Here to go to My Etsy Store for More Information or to Purchase I love this painting for the economy of brushwork and who can resist those clouds that the artist quickly scumbled in?

Vintage Framed Original Oil Painting by Knut Norman Click Here to Purchase or For More Information I love finding paintings by Knut Norman- they never disappoint me. Knut Norman was a very confident painter and his paintings are always filled with atmosphere and light. He laid down his paint without any hesitation and left it. Some painters put down a stroke and then fiddle with it to adjust the shape of color until there is no life left in it. Knut was not one of those painters. He made a decision and kept it. He knew how to steer and manipulate the viewer into seeing his vision which worked very well for him.

Original Mid Century Framed Oil Painting by Owe Wessbohn When I saw the corner of this piece I knew right away that it would be a fantastic piece. I saw the glow of colors in the bottom right corner behind some other paintings that were stacked against a wall in an old shop and had to pull it out to see it immediately. It's the thrill of the hunt. I sort through so many hundreds of pieces of art when out just to find a few. It's a very dirty job actually but when I come across pieces such as this one it makes it all worth while.  I am really torn about having this one listed or keeping it myself.  The colors are so fantastic. Clear and vibrant in the foreground with more muted colors in the back give this painting life. You can feel the heaviness of the cart the man is pushing. The heaviness is accentuated by the composition form of a triangle. The man's back and the angle of the rocks towards the center create a heaviness and solidity to the subject matter. ...
