Description
English: This painting's genesis, Strindberg described in the essay "New trends in art! or by chance in artistic creation. Here he tells of how he first wanted to paint "a shaded forest interior, where you can see the sea at sunset." After having painted a while he notices that he can not see any sea, but instead, in the bright middle part "an infinite perspective of pink and bluish light, where the airy, disembodied, indeterminate beings hover around like fairies with a trailer of the clouds" . He notes that the forest has become a cave and that the foreground looks like rocks covered with lichen. Strindberg is working here as a kind of random method, the painting is created in an interplay between the conscious effort to bring about a certain subject and the deviations from the subject painter discovers during the process.
Svenska: Den här målningens tillkomsthistoria har Strindberg beskrivit i essän Nya konstriktningar! eller Slumpen i det konstnärliga skapandet. Här berättar han om hur han först tänkt måla ”en beskuggad skogsinteriör, varifrån man ser havet i solnedgången”. Efter att ha målat en stund märker han att han inte kan se något hav, utan i stället, i det ljusa mittpartiet ”ett oändligt perspektiv av rosa och blåaktigt ljus, där luftiga, okroppsliga, obestämbara väsen svävar omkring som féer med släp av skyar”. Han noterar att skogen blivit en grotta och att förgrunden ser ut som klippor täckta av lavar. Strindberg arbetar här enligt ett slags slumpmetod; målningen skapas i ett växelspel mellan medveten strävan efter att åstadkomma ett visst motiv och de avvikelser från motivet målaren upptäcker under arbetets gång.
