About the piece
Painted in 1913, Ludvig Karsten's 'The Blue Kitchen' is a masterclass in atmospheric color and expressive brushwork. The composition captures a quiet moment in a kitchen, where everyday dishes and a lone plant are transformed by a dominant palette of deep cobalt and emerald, reflecting the influence of Edvard Munch on Karsten's style.
