This painting is filled with light and breath taking in person. What a talented painter Knut Norman was.  I see his paintings here and there is Sweden and am surprised he isn't more well known. I read somewhere online, or actually in a couple of place, that his studies were financed by Anders Zorn, one of Sweden's most loved and successful painters. SOLD

You can read about Zorn and look at his paintings here.

Erik Olson Original Mid Century Print Sweden Click Here for More Information or to Purchase  I am continuously surprised and sometimes a bit saddened by what is available in charity shops and flea markets here in Sweden. Some of the artwork that I sell online at   Vintage Art Room   is found at "loppis" (flea market) here. When I am at "loppisar" (plural for flea market!) I have to sort through a lot of artwork- it's a very dirty job actually. I think that for every 100-150 paintings I look at I am lucky to find one good one. The Swede's were quite prolific painters both amateurs and professional up until about the 70's. I don't find much work produced in the 80's and on.  When I come across pieces like this print mid century print by Erik Olson of the Swedish art circle Halmstadgruppen I am amazed.  There is a museum here in Sweden devoted solely to the Halmstad Group called Mjellby Art Museum . The museum says that the Halmstad G
