Mountains and Sea, Hardanger Fjord, Norway 1938

"Mountains and Sea, Hardanger Fjord, Norway" (1938) by William H. Johnson (1901-1970) is a stylized landscape painting that emphasizes simplified forms and bold colors. The scene is dominated by the deep blue of the fjord, with snow-capped mountains in the distance and a few white clouds floating overhead. The artist's use of thick, impasto brushstrokes adds texture and depth to the canvas, while the vibrant colors create a sense of energy and movement. The painting is a testament to Johnson's fascination with the beauty of nature, and his ability to capture its essence through his unique artistic vision.
