Orange and Flowers

This is an unusual Swedish mid century painting of an orange and a vase of flowers, set against a vertical background of a colour wheel in a palette of beiges, ochres, browns and blues. The same colours in darker tones are used for the horizontal table top of lozenges.

Signed G(öte ) Bjertner, dated 50, an artist who must surely have been aware of the Delaunay's work in Paris. Head over to The Notebook on here to read "All About Colour Theory" our latest blog post.
