In Green Head, Bengt Lindström captures the raw, totem-like intensity characteristic of his mythical portraiture. The monumentality of the green profile, juxtaposed against sweeping brushstrokes of primary colors, exemplifies his deep connection to Nordic shamanism and the expressive spontaneity of the CoBrA movement.
This rare artist's proof stands out as a quintessential piece of Lindström's vibrant graphic oeuvre.
Hand-signed and annotated in graphite pencil by Bengt Lindström, guaranteeing complete authenticity and exceptional collector appeal.
