Den vaknade vidden 1935

"Den vaknade vidden" (The Awakened Expanse), painted in 1935 by Swedish artist Sven Jonson (1902-1981), is a surrealist landscape painting. The painting depicts a fantastical landscape with towering, otherworldly rock formations against a brooding, gray sky. The central formation creates an archway, revealing a glimpse of a distant horizon. A crescent moon hovers above, adding to the dreamlike atmosphere. This piece, characteristic of Jonson's surrealist style, explores the interplay of form and color, creating a sense of mystery and the sublime.
