Scandinavian Beach Scene [Willy Lindeberg]

A colourful Scandinavian coastal scene featuring a small boat and a handful of seaside properties. Leading from the beach, several pathways wind themselves upwards towards a nearby village, while tiled rooftops appear between green Summertime trees.

The artist, Willy Hakon Lindeberg (1910 - 1983), has used a painterly impressionistic style to create a relaxed Summery feeling. The brushstrokes are confident and informal, while the palette is vibrant and warm.

Lindeberg was a sculptor and visual artist from Malmo, Sweden who studied at the Danish Academy of Arts in Copenhagen. He exhibited widely and his works have been shown at the Skaansk Kunst and the Swedish National Museum.
