Composition 2; The Second Commandment
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on wood painting created by the Danish modernist artist Vilhelm Lundstrom in 1918. This intriguing work of art, now housed in the National Gallery of Denmark (Statens Museum for Kunst, SMK), is a prime example of Lundstrom's unique approach to Cubism and collage techniques. In this masterpiece, Lundstrom presents a jumbled yet harmonious arrangement of shapes and forms, including an oval-shaped bowl filled with colorful fruits and an oval-framed image of the Second Commandment from the Ten Commandments. The commandment, written in a bold, abstracted typeface, is juxtaposed with the chaotic background of intertwined letters and shapes, creating a sense of tension and intrigue. The painting's title, "The Second Commandment," refers to the biblical decree forbidding the creation of graven images. However, Lundstrom's interpretation of this religious concept is far from traditional. Instead, he invites viewers to ponder the relationship between the sacred and the secular, the order and the chaos, and the role of art in interpreting and challenging religious doctrine. The close-up perspective of the image allows viewers to appreciate the intricate details of Lundstrom's brushwork and the rich, vibrant colors that bring this composition to life. The puzzle-like quality of the painting invites multiple interpretations, making it a thought-provoking addition to any art collection or gallery display. As a key figure in Danish modernism, Vilhelm Lundstrom's work continues to inspire and challenge audiences, offering fresh perspectives on the intersection of art, religion, and the human experience. This striking composition, with its bold use of color, shape, and text, is a testament to Lundstrom's innovative spirit and enduring legacy in the world of modern art.
