About this work
Overview
Vilhelm Lundstrøm’s Kubistisk komposition, executed in 1918, is a painted work on wood. The piece belongs to the collection of Denmark’s National Gallery, Statens Museum for Kunst, where it is displayed among other early‑twentieth‑century works.
Technique & Style
The artwork employs a wooden support as its substrate, a choice that aligns with the experimental materiality of the period. Lundstrøm applies paint in a manner that reflects Cubist principles, fragmenting forms and reassembling them into abstracted planes that emphasize geometric structure over representational detail.
History & Provenance
Created shortly after the First World War, the painting entered the Statens Museum for Kunst’s holdings, where it has remained in public custody. Its acquisition reflects the museum’s effort to document the development of modernist tendencies in Danish art during the early 1900s.
