Anna Katarina Boberg, (Swedish, 1864–1935), Evening Silence, 1916

      "Using tones of coral pink, lemon yellow, mint green, and sapphire blue, Swedish artist Anna Boberg created this twilight view of mountains and the sea in Lofoten in northern Norway. The swirling patterns and thick application of paint lend a sense of decorative abstraction to the picture. Boberg travelled to this remote region repeatedly, often working outdoors to capture the atmospheric effects of light reflecting off the bay. Despite this, Evening Silence was likely painted from memory in the artist’s studio."
