Nils Nilsson

Nils Nilsson is an artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Statens Museum for Kunst.

Nils Nilsson kept a pet raven named Skugga that perched on his studio windowsill, dipping its beak into his tea like it was invited. He painted grief without frills: a mother cradling her dead child in Pieta (1927), all raw angles and muted browns, no halos or theatrics. Swipe to stand in front of that canvas, notice how the raven’s shadow on the wall feels like the only soft thing left.
