Torsten Hugo Olson (1904–1995) Abstract composition. Oil on panel. 1975. A lyrical abstract composition constructed from faceted fields of green, red, blue and yellow tones. The painting radiates a rhythmic balance between structure and dissolution — a vibrating chromatic field where the subject is sensed rather than depicted. Characteristic of Olson’s mature 1970s period, influenced by post-war French lyrical abstraction. Artist: Torsten Hugo Olson Material: Oil on panel Actual size: 18 × 25 cm Signature: Signed and dated “Torsten Olson 75” lower left Period: 1975 Condition: Very good condition Bio: Torsten Hugo Olson was part of the renowned Halmstad Group together with his brothers Erik and Axel Olson. He evolved from impressionist beginnings into a colour-intense abstract idiom, where the motif dissolves into structured chromatic fields inspired by French post-war abstraction (Manessier, Bazaine etc.). His works are represented in several Swedish museum and private collections.
