I väntan på vind 1976

"I väntan på vind" (Waiting for Wind), a 1976 woodcut print by Swedish artist Sven Jonson (1902-1981), depicts a tranquil scene of several ships anchored in a harbor, likely inspired by the artist's love for the sea and maritime landscapes. The muted palette and geometric forms give the work a serene and almost abstract quality, while the intricate details of the sails and the rippling water suggest a sense of stillness and anticipation. The title "I väntan på vind" further hints at the theme of waiting for a change, a moment of action or departure. This minimalist yet evocative artwork showcases Jonson's mastery of woodcut technique and his ability to capture the subtle beauty of a fleeting moment.
