The story behind the motif
Poster with The Town, a captivating painting from 1903 by the renowned Swedish artist and writer August Strindberg.
The artwork presents a somber landscape under a tumultuous sky, streaked with vast clouds in shades of white, black, and grey. The scene features a tranquil water body leading to a dark shoreline in the foreground, with the silhouette of a city on the horizon. This city seems to hover over the water like a mirage, symbolizing distant civilization, culture, and life, set against the backdrop of a dark, untamed landscape. As viewers, we are placed in a secluded environment, far removed from the bustle of urban life.
August Strindberg (1849-1912), a pivotal figure in Swedish literature, is celebrated internationally for his plays and considered one of Sweden's foremost literary talents.
Black collection are selected motifs where we replaced the white passepartout with a black one to highlight the motif in a modern and unique way.
