Double-sided Oil Painting by Gösta Wesström","description":"\u003cp\u003eOil painting on board, signed and dated 1933 to one side. The front presents a quietly atmospheric Swedish landscape, rendered in Wesström’s characteristic loose and sensitive manner. On the reverse is a charming and intimate portrait of a woman in a red garment, apparently by the same hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA particularly intriguing double-sided work, inviting the question: who was she? A friend, a model , or perhaps the artist’s secret romance? The two paintings together give the work an unusually personal and almost private character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGösta Wesström was primarily known as a landscape and portrait painter, and spent much of his life working in the Kisa area in Sweden. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnframed. Surface staining, marks and edge wear, but with an abundance of charm and character. A wonderfully informal and intimate piece of Swedish 1930s art, two paintings, one board, and perhaps a story that was never meant to be told.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood vintage condition, with stains, edge wear, marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnframed.
