Oil on Board by Einar Granum, Norway, 1950s

About the Item

Original work by the renowned Norwegian painter Einar Granum (1920-1992), executed in oil on board. With an immersive composition and a subtly expressive color palette, this piece encapsulates Granum’s pictorial style, blending energetic brushstrokes with an introspective sensitivity. The dreamlike scene explores the interplay between the human figure and a stylized interior, evoking a melancholic depth. Granum was a key figure in 20th-century Norwegian art, trained at the National Academy of Fine Arts under the guidance of Per Krohg and Aage Storstein. His legacy extends beyond painting—he founded the prestigious Einar Granum Kunstfagskole, an art school in Oslo that remains a cornerstone of artistic education. His work includes public decorations, such as those at Majorstuen Primary School and the Grand Hotel in Kristiansund. This piece features a rich patina and textures that enhance its expressiveness. A remarkable testament to Scandinavian mid-century art, perfect for collectors and admirers of Nordic aesthetics.
