Embodying the spirit of the CoBrA movement and Nordic folklore, Man and Animal explores the primal relationship between humanity and the animal world. A stylized, mask-like human visage in fiery red confronts a creature with an open jaw, set against vibrant green and yellow backgrounds.
The bold black outlines, exposed teeth, and expressive eyes create a raw, totem-like energy that defines Lindström's legendary mythological iconography.
The lower margin bears the hand-written edition number 6/100 in light pencil on the left, and the artist's original pencil signature on the right, fully guaranteeing its authenticity and provenance.
