About the Item

Mid Century Swedish drawing of two men in conversation by Birger Lindberg. The work is signed and dated top left.. presented in plain wood frame with card mount. A charming view of two men in costume chatting (or not?) at a bar. The right figure is holding on to a glass or are they playing cards. Lindberg has used all his skill as a cartoonist to capture the scene with strong black lines and a rapid style. Birger Lindberg (1 June 1901 – 1991) was a Swedish painter and illustrator and from 1923 he was married to the writer and artist Ester (Essi) Torborg Ottosdotter. Lindberg studied at the Slöjdföreningen school in Gothenburg from 1917 to 1920 and at Valand's painting school from 1920 to 1923. He was engaged as a journalist and newspaper cartoonist for various newspapers in Gothenburg. He was a member of the artist group De Unga and one of the founders of the Gothenburg Artists' Club. His art consists of portraits and figure paintings. Lindberg is represented at the Gothenburg Museum of Art with a self-portrait, the National Museum, Stockholm, Kalmar County Museum, Gävle Museum, Växjö Museum, Institut Tessin in Paris and Avignon, and the Museum of Performing Arts. He published a monograph on the painter Carl Ryd in 1933 and wrote the script for the radio series Konstdialoger about the artist Blåberg and the play Duell, which was premiered at the Stockholm Student Theatre in 1940.
