Pear Still Life
Artist: Hans Larsson (1915-1973)
Medium: Oil on Canvas, signed ‘50s
Dimensions: 17.5” x 21”
This gorgeous still life depicts a bowl of green pears, executed with expressive brushwork and a bold, textured surface. The standout quality here is the dense, vigorous brushwork. The artist uses impasto, layering paint so thickly that the surface becomes sculptural. Every stroke is visible, giving the work a tactile, almost three-dimensional presence. This approach emphasizes the physicality of both the fruit and the medium itself.
About the Artist: Hans Larsson was a Swedish painter born in Malmo. He studied at Scanian painting and technical school in Malmo. Larsson had a long and successful career as a professional painter in Sweden. He was known as a religious painter with a style noticeably influenced by George Rouault and Emile Nolde. He is known for painting modern works in the context of European painting at the time.
This piece is in very good condition, consistent with its vintage age, with no obvious signs of wear.
All artwork is sold as found, and we always carefully photograph and highlight any notable signs of age.
