About the Item
This exquisite painting by Lindorm Liljefors, the talented Swedish painter, draughtsman, and sculptor, is a testament to his profound connection with nature and his artistic lineage. Born on September 18, 1909, in Ytterjärna, Södermanland, and passing away on February 20, 1985, in Skyttorp, Uppsala County, Lindorm was the son of the renowned artist Bruno Liljefors. Educated at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts in Stockholm from 1928 to 1934, under the tutelage of Alfred Bergström and Wilhelm Smith, he honed his skills before embarking on study trips to France and Italy in 1934.
Our painting "Goldfinches, Taormina" showcases a serene natural landscape, inspired by the picturesque scenery of Taormina, it captures the essence of Taormina's natural beauty, combining it with Liljefors' unique artistic perspective. The landscape is richly detailed with lush green grass, delicate flowers, and rugged stones. The focal point is two European goldfinches (Steglits): one gracefully perched on the ground and the other captured in mid-flight, adding a dynamic element to the tranquil scene. This portrayal not only highlights Liljefors' skill in rendering natural beauty but also reflects his personal love for the outdoors, a theme consistent throughout his career.
Lindorm Liljefors followed in his father's footsteps, both in his choice of motifs and his perspective on nature. His oeuvre includes a variety of nature scenes, such as hunters with dogs, crows on ice, badger families, ducks near openings in the ice, and forest interiors. As a sculptor, he focused on depicting humans and animals in motion. His passion for hunting and dogs, coupled with his contributions to the magazine "Svensk Jakt," further underscored his deep engagement with the natural world.

- Christian Berg, Pair of Goosander Birds On Ice Floes.Located in Stockholm, SEA female and male Goosander bird on ice floes. In the center of the painting there is a smaller opening in the ice covered waters. This painting, by Christian Berg (1893-1976) is quite interesting and unusual for his works. It is signed "Ch. Berg" and dated 1918. Berg is mostly famous for his sculptures which was to become his signum works later in his life. He is known primarily for his abstract artworks. He was educated at the Technical School and Althin's painting school in Stockholm 1911–1914. In the years 1914–1917 he studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and started with animal painting in the spirit of Bruno Liljefors. Our painting is from this period just after he finished his studies at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. In 1921, he studied in Berlin and Dresden which was followed by a trip to Egypt in 1925. In the same year he moved to Paris and had a studio on rue Guénégaud. He studied with André Lhote and his interest in cubism was awakened. Made sketch drawings at the free academies Colarossi and La Grande Chaumière and in 1927 he met the Swedish artist Erik Olson...Category
