Still Life with Apples Painting by Birger Halling
A vibrant mid-century still-life painting by Swedish artist Birger Halling (1907-1996). Modern impressionistic in style and with a playful energy, this painting features an arrangement of golden-pink-hued apples resting on a simplistic rectangular black table top. The apples are boldly in focus as they fill the frame; still, yet somehow given movement through the artist's use of shadow and light. A vivid blue background provides a lovely visual lift and, along with the representation of shadow and light, indicates the scene is set outside. Oil on canvas, mounted to wooden panel. Signed lower left. Presented in a solid beech wood tray frame. Dimensions including frame: Height: 55.2 cm / 21.73 inches Width: 71.6 cm / 28.18 inches Depth: 4 cm / 1.57 inches All measurements are approximate.
