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.

"NIKE at Waldemarsudde, " Depiction of Stockholm Landmark, Art Deco Masterpiece
By Georg Pauli
Located in Philadelphia, PA
Arguably the greatest work of Georg Pauli, one of Sweden's leading Modernist painters in the 1920s, 30s and 40s, this Art Deco-Cubist work depicts the great Nike sculpture on the grounds of the home of Prince Eugens on Cape Waldemar in central Stockholm (known in Swedish as Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde). The Prince was a great collector of modern art in the early 20th century, and today his home is a museum and much-beloved landmark in Stockholm.
