Ivan Jordell (1901–1965) Crayon on paper

Ivan Jordell (1901–1965) Crayon on paper A sensitive and dreamlike portrait in subdued tones, where the soft lines and slightly blurred face lend the image a meditative and almost timeless character. The red headdress provides a warm contrast to the cooler violet and green shades in the background. Jordell’s use of crayon emphasizes the delicate and textural quality that gives the work a particular poetry.
