Lot #35: Vintage Figurative Literary Collage Artwork by Arlene Lundgren

Vintage Figurative Literary Collage Artwork by Arlene Lundgren Striking vintage figurative mixed media-style artwork signed “Lundgren,” featuring two children rendered in soft naturalistic tones against a layered abstract literary and architectural collage background. Executed painting in acrylic on Masonite. Incorporating poetic text, geometric forms, and muted grey, cream, and red tones, this original composition blends figurative painting with Mid-Century Modern graphic design influences and narrative symbolism. An airplane soaring overhead and excerpts from Alfred Lord Tennyson’s Ulysses add themes of curiosity, exploration, and imagination, making this a compelling statement piece for gallery walls, creative spaces, libraries, or collectors of Canadian art. Presented in a minimalist silver-toned metal frame that complements the subdued palette and modern composition. Created by Arlene Lundgren (1938–2026), a London, Ontario artist known as a celebrated portrait painter, art teacher, Life Master bridge player, and fantasy baseball enthusiast. This artwork is an early work and originates from her personal estate collection. Some age-related wear to frame and surface consistent with age. Measures approximately 31inH x 25inW.
