Vintage Abstract Oil Painting by Felix Hatz

A good sized and visually striking abstract painting by renowned Swedish artist, Felix Hatz (1904 - 1999). Perhaps a representation of a coastal scene on one of Scania's many beaches? Oil on canvas and in a lovely, distressed gilt frame.

Born originally in Austria, Hatz's childhood was spent in Skåne county in Southern Sweden. He studied at the Academy of Arts in Stockholm between 1928 and 1933, and under Axel Jorgensen (1883-1957) at Royal Danish Academy in Copenhagen (1934). Felix Hatz's early paintings - expressive landscapes, still lifes and cityscapes, were heavily influenced by Edvard Munch. Hatz is represented at the National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Malmö Museum, Ystad and Gävle Museum, Gothenburg Art Museum and the National Gallery in Oslo.
