1883

About the Item

A fine small river landscape "Silverån" painted "en plein air" by Elias Erdtman, (1862-1945). Signed E. Erdtman and dated 1883. Oil on canvas mounted on board. This is a rare work from his early period when he was only 21 years old and still studying in Stockholm. He had not yet been abroad. The painting depicts the river Silverån in Hässleby, Småland, in the southeast of Sweden. Hässleby-Silverån is a nature reserve which consists of an ancient long narrow and elongated coniferous forest area next to the river. Elias Henrik Erdtman was a Swedish artist and in his early years as a young man, he was roaming around Småland with the artist Johan Krouthén dreaming about becoming an artist and did some painting. Our painting, dated 1883, is from his last year of studies at the Technical School in Stockholm, which he had joined in 1881, and one can already see his talent. In 1884 he went to Düsseldorf and stayed there until 1885 with a shorter stay, in between, in Belgium. Then in 1886, he traveled to Paris and Grez-sur-Loing together with his artist friends Ernst Josephson and Carl Larsson. He participated in most of the Artists' Association exhibitions from 1898 and was on the board of the Artists' Association 1915–20. Erdtman received the Mention honorable award at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900. He held a number of solo exhibitions in Stockholm and other Swedish citys during the the early 20th century. He worked mostly as a landscape painter and mainly found motifs for his paintings in the Swedish countryside. Erdtman is represented at, among others, Kalmar Art Museum, Norrköping Art Museum and the National Museum in Stockholm.

  • Goosander Birds On Ice Floes. Oil on Canvas 1918
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    A 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...
