About the Item

This captivating painting by the Swedish-Danish artist Axel Lind offers a serene and introspective view from the artist's studio on Lidingö, Stockholm. The composition skillfully draws the viewer's eye from the rugged cliffs and slender trees in the foreground, across the tranquil expanse of water, to the distant lights of human habitation, hinting at the quiet coexistence of nature and mankind. The artwork's palette is dominated by deep, rich blues and moody, earthy tones, capturing the unique light play of cloud reflections on water with remarkable sensitivity and depth. Axel Lind, born on August 1, 1907, in Copenhagen, Denmark, and passing on May 28, 2011, in Skagen, Denmark, was a painter whose life was as colorful and profound as his art. Initially embarking on a career in music, Lind's journey took a pivotal turn during his time in Italy, where he engaged in self-study in visual arts while continuing his vocal training. This period was marked by significant encounters, including the opportunity to paint a portrait for the renowned tenor Beniamino Gigli and an unexpected audience with the Pope, leading to a unique commission to paint Pope Pius XII and a duet performance with him. Throughout his life, Lind traveled extensively, drawing inspiration from the landscapes and seascapes of Italy, France, Sweden, and Finland. His artistry was not confined to painting alone; he also made significant contributions as a writer and journalist, particularly during World War II, and was a noted philanthropist, establishing a cultural foundation to support artists and organizations. While Axel Lind is celebrated for his portraits of notable figures such as Gösta Ekman and Sophia Loren, his legacy is most enduringly captured in his marine and landscape paintings. His works, which are featured in numerous museums and public collections, resonate with a timeless quality, reflecting his profound connection to the natural world and his exceptional ability to capture its fleeting beauty. The painting from Lidingö stands as a testament to Lind's mastery, offering viewers a moment of reflection and peace, as well as a window into the soul of one of the 20th century's most intriguing artists. oil on canvas signed Axel Lind unframed 99 x 66 framed 112 x 76 cm Provenance: The artist studio, receipt mounted on the back of the canvas.

REFLECTIONS AT NIGHT, SANTORINI landscape abstract water
By Linda Jacobson
Located in Palm Desert, CA
For over a decade, Santorini has inspired Jacobson with its magical beauty and radiance. Many believe Santorini to be the location of the lost city of Atlantis. This painting expresses the eternal stillness, beauty and mystery of the island at night. The glittering lights of the villages crest the tops of the island and the reflections of the light shimmer on the dark turquoise waters of the Caldera. Jacobson creates her paintings with many layers of acrylic paint on canvas, giving her work a luminous and translucent quality. The vivid, saturated, jewel-like colors and strong compositional elements express the spiritual essence of nature. On gallery wrapped canvas. Linda Jacobson's paintings are lyrical abstractions inspired by her love of landscape and its elements: form, movement, light, and what she perceives to be its essence an energy or quality that goes beyond visual appearance. Born in Los Angeles, she received her BFA from California State College, Northridge, and graduated Summa cum Laude from the prestigious Art Center College of Design where she was mentored by pioneer California modernist Lorser Feitelson. Her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums throughout the United States and abroad, including MRG Fine Art, in Los Angeles; Gallerie Rohling, Berlin, Germany; California State University Channel Islands in Ventura; Karpeles Museum in Santa Barbara, California; BG Gallery in Santa Monica; George Lawson...
