Waiting 1893 - 1934

"Waiting," painted by Carl Kylberg between 1893 and 1934, is a striking example of early 20th century Danish art. The painting, housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases a simplified landscape composed of bold blocks of color. The figures in the foreground, rendered in vivid blue and red, stand in stark contrast to the muted hues of the surrounding landscape. The loose brushstrokes and flattened perspective, characteristic of Kylberg's style, contribute to the painting's expressive and evocative quality.
