Paas, Otto (1918-1987). Urban Landscape. (1948)

This evocative urban landscape painting by Otto Paas reflects the artist’s profound connection to the cities he lived in. Rendered on masonite, its dimensions measure 45 x 60 cm, and it is distinctly signed in the lower right corner with “48. O. Paas”. Otto Paas, a significant name in 20th-century art, had to emigrate to Sweden in 1944 to continue his artistic journey. His foundational education was at “Pallas” between 1938-1944, after which he sought further enhancement in Paris by 1954. With his works being showcased in various exhibitions across Sweden and the United States, this piece stands as a testament to his unique vision and undying passion for art.
