A striking crimson cactus flower takes center stage, its bold color contrasted against a softly modelled wooden figure and a richly textured background.

Thick applications of oil paint and visible brushwork give the surface depth and vitality, hallmarks of Scandinavian modernism during the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn evocative and characterful composition that beautifully balances still life and sculptural form,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eKaktusblomma\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis a fine example of Nilsson’s expressive approach to color, texture, and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFramed size: 51.5 x 43cm \/ 20.3 x 16.9in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTechnique: Oil on board\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist:\u003cspan\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOskar Albin Nilsson, 1973.
