1958, oil painting 'The Music Room', by Swedish artist, Hans Larsson.

Super duper texture in this glorious piece, like peanut butter spread thickly on a piece of toasted sourdough. Trumpet yellow, buff and ice blue colours, part abstract, part cubist, totally fabulous.

Hans Oswald Larsson 1915-1973

Larsson was born in Vanstad, Malmöhus on 17th June 1915. He was a Swedish painter.

Larsson studied painting in Copenhagen and Paris and was one of the first people to exhibit at Elsa Lindströms Modern konst i hemmiljö (Modern art in the home) in Storgatan 48 in Stockholm in 1939.
