Original Description
George Arthur Kulmala's Day At The Beach (sunny-side) radiates the carefree joy of a coastal escape through its playful mid-century modern aesthetic. Painted during the 1950s-60s heyday of California Scene Painting, this acrylic work embodies Kulmala's signature style - flattened perspectives meet vividly simplified forms, where bold geometric shapes of beach umbrellas and swimsuits contrast with fluid organic waves. The composition vibrates with retro energy, its high-key palette of buttercup yellows, cerulean blues and candy-stripe reds evoking postwar optimism. Though less known than his contemporaries Millard Sheets or Phil Dike, Kulmala's beach scenes became iconic representations of Southern California leisure culture, bridging commercial illustration with fine art through their graphic vitality. Sunbathers rendered as abstract color blocks and diamond-patterned towels create a rhythmic visual cadence that makes this piece a standout example of mid-century decorative modernism.
For interiors seeking injected cheerfulness, this 24"x36" painting shines brightest hung horizontally above a low-profile sofa or console table in spaces craving warmth. The artwork's inherent nostalgia pairs beautifully with rattan furniture and terrazzo surfaces, while its dominant yellow hues demand cautious color balancing - consider grounding with teak wood tones or soft sage greens. In home offices, position it opposite windows to amplify natural light reflections off its glossy acrylic surface; for corporate settings, frame it with slim brass edges to elevate its playful aesthetic into sophisticated whimsy. Scale matters profoundly - the bold forms require breathing room, making it ideal for walls with at least 5 feet of clearance on either side. Kulmala's graphic energy makes this piece particularly effective in open-plan areas where its radiating positivity can permeate adjacent spaces.
