An atmospheric post-war urban scene by Birgitta Flink, painted in 1947 with expressive brushwork and softened tones of dusty rose, slate blue and warm ochre. The composition captur es a quiet industrial edge of the city, with elongated shadows and simplified architectural forms giving the painting depth, movement and a strong sense of light. The loose painterly handling brings an almost abstract quality to parts of the composition, balanced by the structure of the railway lines and buildings. The pale linen mount and wooden frame complement the muted palette beautifully, giving the work a calm and collected presence. Oil on canvas by artist Birgitta Flink (Sweden, 1914-1999), signed and dated lower right.Dimensions 60 x 52 cm including frame. Show more
