Snowman is a striking neo-expressionist work by Bengt Lindström. Contrary to the traditional gentle image of a snowman, Lindström interprets the figure as a raw, Nordic mythic creature rendered in thick impasto-like lithographic textures, featuring swirling pinks, deep blues, emerald green, and vivid yellow ground.
Embodying the primitive energy of the CoBrA movement, this powerful proof stands out for its bold painterly dynamism and rich emotional resonance.
Hand-signed and inscribed by Bengt Lindström, offering supreme authenticity and high collector appeal.
