Description
Expressive mid century modern oil painting on canvas by Betty Hedlund depicting a stylized portrait figure rendered in a bold modernist and cubist influenced manner. The composition features a striking elongated face and abstracted figure adorned with a necklace of geometric patterned forms, set against a richly layered background of earthy reds, greens, and ochres. Hedlund employs strong color blocking, graphic pattern work, and confident brushwork to create a highly decorative and visually dynamic portrait that reflects the influence of mid-20th century modernist and expressionist painting. The canvas measures approximately 30 x 36 inches and is signed Betty Hedlund on the reverse stretcher. An engaging and vibrant modernist portrait with strong decorative presence well suited for contemporary interiors or collectors of mid century modern art.
