Uppstilling 1973

"Uppstilling" (1973) is a still life painting by Icelandic artist Louisa Matthiasdottir. This work features a collection of common household objects, including pears, a block of ham, a jar of jam, and a knife on a cutting board. Matthiasdottir's signature style is evident in the bold, flat colors and simplified forms. The vibrant color palette, particularly the contrasting greens and blues, creates a sense of vibrancy and energy. The composition, with its central focus on the ham and a balanced arrangement of objects, underscores a sense of stillness and order.
