An eye-catching mid-century landscape showing a rocky quarry hillside beneath a bright sky. The scene is built up from simplified shapes and blocks of colour, giving the composition a subtle cubist feel. Rather than relying on fine detail, the artist constructs the forms of the landscape through colour temperature and shape. Warm ochres, muted greens and soft pinks sit against cooler blues and greys, allowing the rocks and hills to emerge through colour relationships rather than outlines. This approach reflects modernist training of the period, where artists were encouraged to build a landscape through structure and colour rather than strict realism. The result is a painting that feels both expressive and carefully balanced. The soft palette and confident brushwork give the piece a calm decorative presence, making it a strong and characterful work for a relaxed, design-led interior. Oil on canvas, laid on panel, by artist Viggo Djurberg (Sweden, 1909 - 1992). Dimensions 64x75cm framed.
