About the artist:
John Mauritz "Moje" Åslund (May 3, 1904, Stockholm, Sweden–January 10, 1968) was a Swedish director, advertising artist, illustrator, and theater decorator.
After finishing school in Uppsala and continuing his studies at the Örebro University of Technology, Åslund studied art and painting in Munich, Germany.
Aslund is the king of colorful and linear images. He outlines faces and characters as if they were stencils, simplified and decorative silhouettes. He manages to convey emotions and expressions through geometric shapes, flat colors and defined lines, preferring primary colors: reds, yellows, blues, and uniform black and white tones.
Even the texts and typefaces become essential and original elements of the composition, adapting to the painted scenes. Aslund paints with simplicity, creating artworks characterized by shapes and their relationships.
