The Cottages

This oil pastel exemplifies Swedish midcentury modernism, featuring a stylized landscape or architectural abstraction with simplified, blocky forms. The piece showcases a harmonious use of muted, earthy tones alongside brighter accents like teal and orange, reflecting the Scandinavian approach to capturing natural light and seasonal color contrasts. The composition’s geometric elements, such as the intersecting lines of buildings and the angular shapes of rocks or hills, echo the midcentury focus on form and structure. The flattened perspective and bold, contrasting shapes suggest influences from the color field and abstract expressionist movements, common in Swedish modern art of the 1950s and 1960s. The original artwork’s frame, with its sleek, minimalist design, complements the era's aesthetic.
