Expressionist mid-century oil painting of a still life with a guitar, oil on canvas, signed.
By using warm and moody tones, Herder creates a warm and atmospheric rendering of his cluttered studio, a true reflection of his creative world. Excellent piece for a music lover, or any mid-century interior!
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: 64 x 53 cm (with frame)
About the artist:
Lars Herder (1923-1976) started his education as a professional painter in 1941 at the Slöjdföreningen school in Gothenburg. He continued to Eric Clemmensen's painting school in Copenhagen and took several study trips to Paris, Germany and Poland. He settled permanently in Helsingborg in 1945. He exhibited both solo and in group exhibitions. His art consists of portraits, figures, landscapes and abstract motifs in vibrant colour. Herder is represented at Moderna Museet and Trelleborg's museum. A memorial exhibition of his art was shown at Sofiero Castle in Helsingborg in 2008.
