More about this artwork
This painting by Vilhelm Lundstrøm, titled "Road With Houses," is a compelling work that showcases the artist's modernist approach to composition and color. The scene captures a street view, likely depicting an ordinary road lined with houses. However, the representation strays from realism and leans into abstraction with its simplified forms and bold use of color.The houses are rendered in blocks of solid, vibrant colors including shades of orange, pink, and green, contrasting starkly against a moody, overcast sky painted in dark grays. The perspective is slightly flattened, with little detail to distinguish the individual architectural elements, focusing instead on the overall impact of color and shape.In the foreground, Lundstrøm includes dark, abstract shapes that might be suggestive of bushes or trees, providing a sense of depth and natural elements to the urban scene. These forms, along with the rest of the composition, are outlined with bold, confident strokes, emphasizing the painting's graphic quality.Overall, "Road With Houses" exemplifies Lundstrøm's unique style, marked by a departure from detailed representation to embrace a more abstract, expressionistic form that captures the essence and atmosphere of the scene rather than its detailed realism.
