More information

In the auction painting, "Aftonljus II" (‘Evening Light II’), the viewer is positioned outside the main subject of the painting. A woman stands looking out over the sea and the sailing boat approaching land. Perhaps she is expecting visitors. She is surrounded by the colourful beach huts in red, blue, fire yellow and pink, which almost form a wall that the viewer can see through.

Waldemar Lorentzon's works are grateful to the viewer. They invite a warm experience of immediate recognition. Waldemar Lorentzon's colourful Halland motifs of beach huts and the sea are strongly associated with the artist's palette. This is particularly true of his paintings from the 1930s and 1940s.

Lorentzon's fondness for his colour map in strong pastel shades has recurred in both his smaller and his larger canvases. A similar relationship to the colour scale is relatively rare on the Swedish art scene in the 20th century, but can be seen in the work of Birger Sandzén and Carl Wilhelmson, among others, the latter of whom worked for a time as Waldemar Lorenzon's teacher.
