Stående nøgen kvinde, vendt mod højre, draperi i hånden 1949

Vilhelm Lundstrom drew this standing nude woman with a drapery in her hand on paper, but the exact date is unknown. It’s all about line, really. He uses it to suggest volume and shadow, creating a figure that feels both present and a little bit abstract. I'm really drawn to the way Lundstrom uses line and hatching to describe the figure's weight. You can almost feel the pressure of the body. The shading around the arm and torso is especially interesting because it is so abstract in form, but creates such depth and definition. It's like he's building form out of pure energy, isn't it? There is something about the simplicity of the lines and the focus on form that feels very modernist, yet there's a softness to the overall composition. There’s a feeling of connection with the past in Lundstrom's work. It’s like he’s in conversation with artists like Picasso, but forging his own path. Art is never created in a vacuum; it’s always an exchange of ideas across time.
