Nordic Crags. Vintage Swedish Oil Painting.

A striking small-format vintage oil painting by Swedish artist Gunnar Rudström, known for his expressive and textured landscapes. Executed in rich impasto, the work captures a dramatic mountainous or cliffside terrain, rendered with bold, sculptural brushstrokes in deep greys, purples, and earthy tones. Highlights of yellow and blue lend vibrancy to the otherwise brooding composition, suggesting light breaking across the rugged Scandinavian landscape.

Rudström’s confident handling of paint and atmospheric palette reflect the Nordic tradition of landscape painting, combining impressionistic texture with a distinctly modern, emotional resonance. A fine example of mid-20th-century Scandinavian art in a compact, evocative format.

Great vintage condition.
