The Oblist Leaves | 1960s Abstract Collage, Sweden | Dining Room

This beautifully crafted collage, created in 1963 by Swedish artist Lars Bergander (1909–1989) and titled “Blad” (Leaves), is a masterful example of mid-century modern Scandinavian art. The composition features a detailed arrangement of paper elements, layered to form an abstract, nature-inspired design. Its organic shapes and textures subtly echo the contours and patterns of leaves, reflecting the work’s title. A warm, earthy palette is combined with textured surfaces, such as visible folds, grain-like lines, and layered depth, which add a sculptural quality to the piece.

Housed in a simple yet refined pine frame, the artwork’s natural materials and thoughtful design enhance its connection to the organic theme. Bergander’s ability to blend abstraction with nature-inspired motifs makes this signed work a sophisticated and timeless piece, perfectly suited for a curated interiors.
