Through the Forest

SOLD.

An enchanting and playful composition, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1973, by Swedish artist Uno Vallman (born 1913) whose works are included in the Swedish National Museum and The Swedish Modern Museum, to name a few. His works are also included in the collections of Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter and the Tessin Institute in Paris.

This very large painting depicts three figures strolling on a pathway through a lush forest. In the background of the painting, we can discern a row of houses and 3 tall chimneys.

Containing elements of fauvism and expressionism, this striking painting emphasises rich colourism and decorative pattern. The artist has enhanced the colours of the natural world by using an array of vivid and saturated colours of red, blue and green. Distinct energetic and intuitive brushstrokes also fill the canvas, adding a nice light texture and imbuing the work with a sense of dynamism.

This large oil on canvas is housed in a very decorative gilt frame. The frame has some scuffing, but the appearance is still very attractive. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 73 x 84 cm (including frame)
