Løst rids 1879 - 1910

"Løst rids" is a gestural drawing by Danish artist Oluf Hartmann, created between 1879 and 1910. The work is executed in black ink on paper and features a dynamic composition of swirling lines and gestural marks that suggest a sense of movement and energy. The drawing's abstract nature exemplifies the artist's exploration of expressionism, a style that emphasizes subjective emotions and personal experiences. Hartmann's art often explored themes of nature and the human condition, reflecting the influence of his time and the emergence of modernism. This drawing, housed at the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, provides a glimpse into the artist's process and his early exploration of abstract forms.
