Artist: Einar Emland (1916-1994)

Origin: Sweden

Date: Mid-20th Century (c. 1950s-1970s)

Medium: Oil on canvas

Size: 56cm x 67cm approximately (including frame)

A charming mid-century oil painting by Swedish artist Einar Emland, depicting a delicately arranged bouquet of seasonal flowers displayed in a simple glass vase upon a table. Painted in Emland’s distinctive Scandinavian style, the composition combines soft muted greens, gentle blues, warm lilacs and earthy ochres to create a calm and harmonious still life, full of understated elegance and quiet atmosphere.

Executed with confident, expressive brushwork, the painting celebrates texture and colour rather than intricate detail. Loose, painterly strokes bring the floral arrangement to life, while the translucent glass vase is rendered with subtle tonal variations that beautifully capture reflected light. The restrained background and balanced composition allow the bouquet to remain the focal point, evoking the timeless simplicity and natural beauty associated with Scandinavian modernism.

Signed lower right, the work is presented in its original period frame, which complements the painting’s soft colour palette and authentic mid-century Scandinavian character.

The reverse of the painting retains a fascinating collection of original Swedish newspaper clippings relating to Einar Emland, including a memorial article published in 1994 titled “Art Should Belong to Everyone”. The articles celebrate the artist’s lifelong belief that original art should be accessible to all, while documenting his exhibitions, artistic career and contribution to Swedish art. Preserved by a previous owner, these period clippings provide a wonderful piece of provenance, adding both historical interest and an authentic connection to the artist’s life and legacy.

*Please note that all paintings have had previous lives and may be in an antiqued / worn condition. Signs of wear and minor damage are to be expected, as they contribute to each painting’s unique character and history.
