Not a creature appears to disturb this seemingly white tranquility; the only signs of human presence are footsteps and a dilapidated fence at the edge of the forest. Atmospheric scenes of the snowy landscape from his adopted home of Värmland became hallmarks of Swedish artist Gustaf Adolf Fjæstad’s work early in his career. His "Newly Fallen Snow" of 1909 is an almost monochrome canvas rendered in hues of mauve and white, a work on an impressive scale that truly reflects his reputation as a “snow painter par excellence.” The painting was one of the most expensive works purchased from a Hagenbund exhibition for the Modern Gallery.
