Farvestudie til Langelinie-billedet 1923 - 1927

Edvard Weie made this colour study for Langelinie-billedet with watercolour on paper, and it's so light, it's almost like a memory. The brush marks are broad and sweeping, capturing the essence of a landscape, not every little detail. I love how the pinks and greens blend together, creating a soft, dreamlike quality. The way he's used these colours, it feels like Weie is building up layers of atmosphere, rather than just painting objects. Look closely at that patch of green on the left - see how the strokes are laid down with such confidence? It’s not just green; it’s a whole world of light and shadow, all captured with a few simple gestures. It reminds me a little of some of Bonnard’s landscapes, where everything seems to dissolve into colour and light. And like Bonnard, Weie isn't trying to give us a perfect picture, more like an impression, a feeling, a mood.
