Axel LindMidnight Reflections From the Artist Lidingö StudioMid 1900s
Mid 1900s
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.

In 2014 he was invited for a residence in Colombia, and subsequently he has travelled to Mexico, Guatemala and Cuba.

- Oltremare 6Located in Milano, MII am not afraid to define it as a metaphysical painting, - says Angelo Crespi - and right in the suffix "beyond" (in Greek "meta") also of the title "Oltremare" the intent to climb over the wall of the sensible and the real is revealed. There is another vein to which the new paintings of Nahmad refer and it is that of Romanticism, in the strong idea that art should represent the sublime, not the beautiful. The skies like John Constable, thick with purplish blue clouds (such as "Rainstorm over the Sea" of 1828 which anticipates by a century modernity), the stormy seas like William Turner, give the viewer the idea of infinity and vastness of nature compared to the finitude and misery of the human.
