Curatorial Narrative Anna Boberg’s “Summer Landscape with Shielings. Study from North Norway” occupies an intriguing position within the Expressionist canon, bridging the emotive intensity of early 20th-century Norwegian art with the modernist inclinations that would come to define the country’s aesthetic trajectory in the decades to follow. As we might expect from an artist working in this mode, Boberg’s brushwork is characterized by a restless energy, manifesting as thick impasto textures that imbue her composition with a dynamic tactile presence.The palette of reds, browns, greens, blues, and white serves to establish a chromatic structure that eschews the grandiose sweeps typical of more traditional landscape painting in favor of a nuanced, fragmented approach. Atmospheric conditions are thus conjured through a series of layered planes and depths, rather than being uniformly applied across the canvas. When enlarged to 54×44 inch
