Hilding Linnqvist
A Rural Landscape With Cows and Horses, Watercolor by Hilding Linnqvist

20th Century

About the Item

This watercolor by Hilding Linnqvist who was a Swedish artist born in 1891 and passed away in 1984. Linnqvist, known for his association with the Naïvist movement, often described as a "lyrical Naïvist," showcases his unique ability to capture the essence of rural life with a remarkable simplicity and charm. This artwork features grazing cows and horses amidst a lush landscape, with water reflections in the foreground, encapsulating the artist's love for landscape motifs. The painting exudes Naïvist characteristics, revered for its beauty in simplicity, almost giving the impression of being unfinished. However, we believe that Linnqvist considered this piece completed decided to sign it with his monogram HL. Linnqvist's artistic journey began at the Technical School (now Konstfack) from 1908 to 1910 and continued at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts from 1910 to 1912, before he left to form an independent study group with fellow artists. This group made its debut in 1914, but Linnqvist's breakthrough came with the autumn exhibition at Liljevalchs in 1918. This watercolor remains a testament to Linnqvist's enduring legacy and his connection with the natural world, rendered with a depth of feeling and an understated elegance that speaks directly to the viewer's soul. watercolor signed with monogram HL framed 43.5 x 51.5 cm
