About the piece
Painted in 1913, Ludvig Karsten’s "The Red Kitchen" showcases the artist's masterful use of color and loose, expressive brushwork. This vibrant still life captures a moment of domestic simplicity, transformed into a dynamic composition through a bold palette of deep reds, purples, and greens typical of early 20th-century Norwegian Modernism.
