Gul figur 1917

"Gul figur" (1917) by Swedish artist Gösta Adrian-Nilsson (1884-1965) exemplifies the artist's unique style that blends elements of Expressionism and Cubism. The painting features a central, yellow figure, its form fragmented and simplified, surrounded by vibrant and contrasting blocks of color, creating a dynamic and energetic composition. The angular shapes and bold brushstrokes characteristic of Cubism are intertwined with the emotional intensity of Expressionism. This artwork is a striking example of Adrian-Nilsson's ability to translate his artistic vision into a compelling and visually captivating work.
