EDITORS COMMENTS
The Meeting," a captivating oil on cardboard painting created by Swedish Expressionist artist Ester Almqvist in 1929, invites viewers to delve into the intriguing world of a group of men gathered indoors during the twilight hours of the 1920s. The painting, now a cherished part of the collection at the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, showcases Almqvist's mastery of the Expressionist artistic style. The figures in this evocative scene are depicted with bold, vibrant colors, each man lost in his own thoughts as they sit in a dimly lit room. The atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, with some men engrossed in books while others seem deep in conversation. The use of color and brushwork adds depth and texture to the scene, creating a sense of warmth and intimacy. Almqvist's innovative composition and bold use of color set The Meeting apart from other works of the time. The painting's title, La Soirée (The Evening Gathering), speaks to the sense of community and connection that permeates the image. The men, dressed in suits and hats, appear both formal and comfortable in their surroundings, adding to the painting's intriguing and timeless allure. This work of art is a testament to Almqvist's ability to capture the essence of human interaction and the passage of time. The Meeting invites viewers to reflect on the power of gathering with others and the richness of the human experience.
