Description
Cubist Coastal Scene, n.d. Medium: oil on board. Signed 'Carlberg', lower right. Dimensions: 17" x 28". Framed: 18" x 29". This cubist works is from the collection of a Swedish ex- patriate who enjoyed his US citizenship while remaining fond of his Swedish heritage. Carlberg is assumed to be a Swedish painter like many other documented works in this collection. The two Carlberg (see next lot) modernist works embrace movement and color using a fragmented composition. This modernist style of Cubism was meant to bring different views of subjects (usually objects or figures) together in the same picture, resulting in paintings that appear fragmented and abstracted. The artist took those objects and broke them down into distinct planes and then reassembled them into abstracted form. Rather than creating the illusion of depth, these dynamic arrangements merge foreground and background to emphasize the flatness of the artist's canvas.
