A highly expressive, nearly abstract figurative composition. A pale, reclining nude figure is visible on the lower right, swept up in a chaotic, swirling maelstrom of thick, gestural brushstrokes. The surrounding environment dissolves into overlapping, energetic patches of slate blue, earthy brown, ochre, and bright yellow. The Danish modernist Edvard Weie was deeply influenced by French Post-Impressionism and Fauvism, pushing those aesthetics toward the brink of pure abstraction. In this piece, the physical application of the paint and the intense, musical harmony of the colors completely overpower the narrative subject.
