URBAN LANDSCAPE WITH FACTORIES – FRED MAGNEBERG (1922-2004)

Description:
This evocative cityscape by Magneberg presents a muted, overcast day in an industrial district, likely from mid-20th century Scandinavia. The scene is composed with quiet precision—bare trees line a winding road flanked by modest apartment buildings, while factory chimneys emit thin streams of smoke in the distance. The subdued palette of greys, browns, and faded greens beautifully reflects the atmospheric tension of the northern city in winter light. A contemplative and honest view of urban life and changing industry.
