Oil on canvas, 70 x 50 cm. Madeleine Pyk is a visual artist and author born in Stockholm in 1934. She paints in a naïve style and often uses bold colors. Her subjects include landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. She has studied at Konstfack and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and is represented in the collections of the Moderna Museet, Stockholm City, and Norrköping Museum. In Pyk's work, there is a strong longing for the idyllic. She portrays hot summer scenes and chilling winter views. She captures the essence of cats and tigers, colors gardens with joy, and fills Stockholm with Ottoman and French influences. Thanks to Galleri Hedenius for this donation.
