Komposition med fem nøgne kvinder 1919 - 1920

Vilhelm Lundstrom made this drawing with ink on paper and it shows five nude women. The scene feels like a glimpse into the artist’s sketchbook, maybe a study of figures. Lundstrom’s line is searching, confident, and a little bit awkward, all at the same time. It makes me think about what he might have been thinking. Did he start with one figure and then just keep going? The artist is pulling inspiration from other artists such as Matisse, who used his line in a similar searching way. I think that the way the ink is pooling in certain areas, creating these darker, more intense marks, is interesting. Maybe he was trying to work out how to represent the weight of the body, or the feeling of flesh. It is a reminder that art is never made in isolation, but in conversation with other artworks and artists.
