1903
unspecified
From the collection of Finnish National Gallery
Kaksi kärpässientä, luonnos teokseen Sadun prinsessa is a 1903 unspecified by Torsten Wasastjerna, held at Finnish National Gallery.
This painting shows two bright red mushrooms with white spots growing in a patch of dark, leafy dirt. The colors pop—one mushroom is orange-yellow on top, the other is deep red. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, especially around the stems and leaves. The artist left the background messy, almost like a sketch. It feels quick and unfinished, as if they were testing ideas. Next, look up impasto to see how thick paint like this is used.
Torsten Gideon Wasastjerna (17 December 1863 – 1 July 1924) was a Finnish painter.
