Maquette hand-painted poster from the
1920s or 1930s, featuring a couple gazing out over the sea under a full moon and a red sky.
Details of the Artwork
Medium: Hand-painted poster.
Period: Created sometime between the 1920s and 1930s.
Subject: It depicts a man and a woman standing close together, looking towards a bright moon reflecting on the water, all set against a dramatic red sky.
Text: The text visible at the bottom of the image, "OPPLATS FÖR TITELN" is Swedish for "Space for the title", suggesting this specific work may have been an untitled or preliminary design for a poster or other promotional material.
Similar themes of couples in emotional or lonely settings, especially by the sea, are famously explored by artists in the Symbolist and Expressionist movements, such as Edvard Munch's painting Two Human Beings, The Lonely Ones. |
