Painter’s Still Life – Helge Cardell – +/- 1950s – 76,5 x 39 cm

Modernist oil painting of the painter’s studio, showing pots and brushes. Oil on canvas, signed.

Helge Cardell created an intimate still life of his brushes and some cans of paint, allowing us a glimpse into his private creative world. The well balanced color palette fits the mid-century period well, and every time you look at this painting something else catches your eye.

The painting is surface cleaned and comes with a complementary gilded wooden frame. Both painting and frame are in good vintage condition but show some age-related wear and tear, which largely contributes to their charm. The best way to see this is through the photos, so study them because they form the description.

Size: 76,5 x 39 cm (with frame)
