Morning

Morgen

Medium: Watercolour on paper
Date: Likely 1960s
Artist: Sigurd Bergmann (Signed “S.B.”)

A rare, emotionally charged early abstract by Sigurd Bergmann, Morgen radiates with the bold curiosity and risk-taking energy that defined parts of his 1960s experimental phase. Rich, bleeding washes of amber, indigo, magenta, and forest green swirl and collide across the paper — like morning light trying to break through dreams still clinging to the mind.

Though unsigned with his full name, the stylized S.B. mark in the corner is consistent with his known 60s signature practice. Stylistically, it belongs to the same creative moment as other abstract works from that time — when Bergmann explored the tension between control and spontaneity, between form and feeling.
