シベリア急行
1918
Nils Dardel captured the chaotic energy of the Trans-Siberian Railway in this vibrant 1918 masterpiece. The composition is split into colorful zones, showing trains chugging above while below, passengers dine under the watchful eyes of armed guards. It reflects the artist's own journey back to Sweden from Japan during World War I, a trip that took months across war-torn Russia. The bold, flat colors and simplified forms show his unique take on Post-Impressionism, mixing real experiences with a dreamlike, almost theatrical atmosphere.
