"Townscape in Corsica", Brilliant Art Deco Landscape Painting by Åkerblom, 1937

About the Item

Painted with a strong, vivid palette which captures the brilliant sky, terra cotta roofs and golden walls of this townscape, probably in Corsica, this work is a fine example of Art Deco-era landscape painting. The artist, Jocke Åkerblom, studied at the Stockholm Academy of Fine Arts in the 1920s; 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.
