Gloomy Saturday

We headed off into London today to see the Harald Sohlberg exhibition at Dulwich Picture Gallery. Unfortunately we failed to meet up with F, but nonetheless enjoyed the small but focused exhibition. Whilst one could not really describe them as bright, I did feel the colours were often vibrant, and well used. The overall sensation was, however, a slightly menacing one, of nature not quite tamed. The last room was dedicated to Winter Night in the Mountains, which did not really move me; my favourites from the exhibition were probably A Country Road, A Country Road II and From Akershus, with its curious sunset-lit orange sea; Night and other townscapes from Røros were also interesting.
