Abstract modernist painting of a rocky coast and foamy waves. Oil on panel, signed. With rough brush strokes and a lot of paint, Lars Herder (1923-1976) created this rugged coastal landscape. Using mostly blues and some greens, whilst adding some (almost) black to create a layers between the rocks. Bright white and some hints of pink depicts the foam of the waves. The painting is surface cleaned and comes with a complementary, restored vintage wood and silver frame. Both painting and frame are in good condition but show some age-related wear and tear, which largely contributes to their charm. The best way to see this is through the photos, so study them because they form the description.
