Efterårslandskab 1908 - 1912

This is Magaard’s “Efterårslandskab”, or “Autumn Landscape”, a plate made with etching. The sepia tones make me think of a memory. It's that kind of print, you know, where the image emerges from a soup of lines. Looking closely, you can see how the etched marks create these subtle, atmospheric effects. The tree in the foreground is a mass of tangled lines, almost like a scribble. It's so immediate, you can imagine the artist right there, drawing directly onto the plate, capturing the scene's feeling. There’s a real physicality to the mark making here, with a rawness. I find myself drawn to that single tree. The way it dominates the scene, bending against the wind – there's a real sense of drama. It reminds me of Van Gogh, that expressive, emotional connection to the landscape. This piece really celebrates the simple beauty and the changing seasons, it feels like art about seeing, and art about feeling.
