About the Item

Arguably the greatest work of Georg Pauli, one of Sweden's leading Modernist painters in the 1920s, 30s and 40s, this Art Deco-Cubist work depicts the great Nike sculpture on the grounds of the home of Prince Eugens on Cape Waldemar in central Stockholm (known in Swedish as Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde). The Prince was a great collector of modern art in the early 20th century, and today his home is a museum and much-beloved landmark in Stockholm. This painting shows the sculpture in the foreground, and in the background is a jumble of houses, factory chimneys and institutional buildings, the Swedish flag flying to the left. The painting is rich with color, and everything is given a stylized, fractured form that reflects the work of the great French modernists such as Lhote, who taught and influenced a generation of Swedish painters. Pauli signed the painting with his monogram on the lower left-hand corner. The painting is oil on canvas and is beautifully framed. (Dimensions include the frame; visible painting is 23.5 inches high by 19 inches wide.)
