The Greek Summer

This midcentury Swedish oil on canvas exudes a serene, coastal vibe, reminiscent of summer scenes and the modernist movement's influence in Swedish art during the 1950s and 1960s. The composition features geometric, blocky depictions of seaside buildings, abstractly rendered in clean lines and soft, muted tones of white, sand, green, and blue. The artist's approach emphasizes simplified shapes and a flattened perspective, creating an almost Cubist interpretation of an idyllic coastal village. Painted by the same artist who painted “The Houses by the Sea”.

The use of large blocks of color, particularly the expansive sky and sea, gives the painting a calm, meditative quality, while the interplay of light and shadow suggests a warm, sunlit day. The soft, matte palette evokes a sense of tranquility, drawing viewers into the scene's peaceful atmosphere. Framed in a simple, elegant gold frame that has wear commiserating with age, the artwork’s presentation enhances its midcentury aesthetic appeal.

Keep out of direct sunlight and gently dust with a soft cloth.
