Edvard Andersson (1891-1967). 3 people in city-environment

About the Item

This painting by Swedish artist Edvard Andersson, dating approximately to 1930, features three abstracted human figures set against a stylized urban background. The figures are rendered in vibrant, expressive colors—predominantly earthy tones with contrasting blues and greens—that evoke a sense of movement and vitality. Andersson's brushwork is bold and layered, using geometric shapes and fragmented forms that suggest the influence of Cubism prevalent in early 20th-century European art. The cityscape, though abstracted, conveys a bustling environment, with blocky buildings and urban elements barely discernible through dynamic strokes and harmonious color choices. This piece reflects Andersson’s exploration of human figures within the context of urban life, merging abstraction with a subtle narrative of city life’s energy and complexity. The painting would appeal to collectors interested in early 20th-century modernist movements, Scandinavian art, or works that juxtapose human form with architectural environments in an expressive, semi-abstract style.
