Description
A very well executed mid century modernist figurative composition of a sailor, painted in oil onto card. This painting features a stylized, abstracted figure of a sailor seated on a chair. The sailor is depicted using bold, geometric shapes and flat areas of colour, reminiscent of the Cubist and Modernist styles. The figure sits in a relaxed, slightly angular posture, with crossed legs and arms folded, giving a composed yet confident air. The colour palette is dominated by navy blues, blacks, greys, and reds, contrasting with the earthy brown background. White and grey tones highlight the sailors trousers and accessories. The painting features strong geometric abstraction, using flat planes, sharp lines, and minimal detailing, heavily influenced by Cubism and Constructivism, evoking artists like Fernand Lger or Jean Metzinger. Overall, the painting offers a striking, modern interpretation of a classic maritime subject, blending strong lines, simplified forms, and a well-balanced colour scheme. This oil on card is housed in a complementary maroon wooden frame which pairs wonderfully with the red tones of the painting. It is framed behind a perspex. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Size: 51 x 36 cm (including frame)
