"The Harvest", Art Deco Painting with Male Laborer in Blue and Purple

About the Item

Gloriously painted in a palette of blue, purple, white and yellow, this painting by Jocke Åkerblom depicts a laborer in the field, wielding his scythe, with a glorious sky above that seems to suggest outstretched angel wings. Åkerblom studied at the Stockholm Academy of Fine Arts in the 1920s, and a scholarship permitted him to travel and paint in Paris, Berlin and Corsica. He exhibited widely, and painted the human figure often. A painting of his is in the collection of the the Moderna Museet (modern art museum) in Stockholm. The painting is on prepared wood panel. It is one of a series by the artist offered by Renaissance Man Antiques, all dating to 1937.
