About the piece

Created in 1906, Axel Törneman's 'Night Café' is a seminal work of early expressionism. The scene vibrates with the energy of social life, utilizing a daring palette of emerald greens and deep crimsons to capture the artificial glow and vibrant tension of a turn-of-the-century night spot.
