The barren, windy landscape is from Tjörn. Nordström was born there, but this was painted in Varberg, where the artist moved in May 1893. Here, Nordström, Nils Kreuger and Richard Bergh, developed a “synthetist” style of landscape painting, with billowing lines and a subdued palette. The critics said Nordström’s art was morose and introverted: “In Ovädersmoln the darkening landscape is ominous with its bleak and raving fury,” Edvard Alkman wrote in Dagens Nyheter in 1894.
