What periods do these paintings date from?

The pieces span the 1930s through to the 1960s, capturing the height of mid-century modernism and abstract experimentation. Most items originate in the post-war decades of the 1950s and 1960s, reflecting active artistic movements across Europe.

What materials were used by the artists?

Makers worked primarily with oil paint on canvas or wood board, alongside acrylic, ink, and watercolour on paper. Some compositions incorporate mixed media and heavy impasto techniques to create raised textures on the surface.

How do I hang and display these works?

Many paintings arrive framed and ready for wall display, while others on canvas or board offer flexibility for custom framing. Keep them away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture to protect the oil paint, paper, and wood supports.

How are different art styles told apart?

Styles range from geometric art deco abstracts to expressive cityscapes and figurative compositions influenced by German expressionism. Examining brushwork, subject matter, and the handling of colour helps distinguish mid-century modernism from avant-garde works.
