Sam Uhrdin
A Rare Winter Landscape With Clouds by Sam Uhrdin (1910)

1910

About the Item

This atmospheric landscape from 1910 offers a rare glimpse into a lesser-known side of Sam Uhrdin’s work. Painted before his formal art education, the canvas reveals an emerging artist with a natural command of composition and mood. The dramatic sky—swirling with grey, white, and blue clouds—dominates the scene, stretching over a quiet, snow-covered plain marked by low vegetation. The result is a powerful and contemplative image of the Nordic landscape, full of space, light, and early spring tension. Sam Uhrdin (1886–1964) began his career as a decorative painter and travelled to America in 1906 to work as a sign painter and upholsterer. After returning to Sweden via London and Paris in 1909, his artistic talent was recognized, and with support from local patrons, he was admitted to the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in 1911. His studies were short-lived, however, as portrait commissions soon began to dominate his time. He would go on to become one of Sweden’s most prolific portraitists, depicting figures such as Prime Minister Nils Edén and King Gustav V. Uhrdin is best known for his depictions of life in Dalarna—folk interiors, portraits, and regional landscapes—but this early work stands apart. It reflects an artist at a crossroads, still discovering his voice, and already showing remarkable sensitivity to atmosphere and form. oil on canvas signed and dated unframed: 35 x 45 cm (13 3/4 x 17 3/4 in) framed: 44 x 54 cm (17 3/8 x 21 1/4 in) Handcrafted black frame by Stockholm Förgyllning & Bildhuggeri.
