Ivan Bergdahl
Sunny October Day, Abisko. (Group of Seven style)

1960s

About the Item

Ivan Bergdahl, born in 1929 in Säbrå, is a celebrated Swedish artist renowned for his evocative landscape paintings that capture the stunning natural beauty of Sweden. His work, often inspired by the landscapes of northern Sweden, showcases his ability to depict the vibrant interplay of light and color in nature. Sunny October Day, Abisko is a beautiful representation of his work from the early 1960s. This painting reflects the influence of Helmer Osslund, a master of Swedish landscape painting known for his vivid and expressive depictions of the northern Swedish wilderness. The use of bold colors and dynamic brushstrokes in Bergdahl’s painting pays homage to Osslund’s style, while also highlighting Bergdahl’s unique artistic vision. The scene captures a serene autumn day in Abisko, a village in the far north of Sweden, situated in the  Sápmi region. Abisko is renowned for its stunning natural scenery, including the majestic Abisko National Park, which is famous for its clear skies, rugged mountains, and vibrant fall colors. In this painting, Bergdahl masterfully portrays the rich autumnal hues and the tranquil waters, with the bright blue lake set against the warm tones of the surrounding landscape. The painting conveys a sense of peace and the timeless beauty of Abisko's nature. oil on masonite painted c. 1960 unframed: 21 x 45 cm (ca 8.27 x 17.72 inches) framed: 31 x 55 cm (ca 12.20 x 21.65 inches) signed Ivan Bergdahl

The Tree by the Lake, Värmland, By Racken Group Artist Ture Ander
Located in Stockholm, SE
This painting by Ture Ander, created in 1917, depicts a serene landscape from Värmland, Sweden. At the center of the composition is a large tree, likely a deciduous species, as suggested by the hints of autumn seen in both the tree and the meadow below it. The short brushstrokes used to depict the leaves and grass evoke a sense of movement and texture, typical of the early 20th-century artistic style. Another beautiful detail is the bluish-tinted forested mountains in the background, creating a sense of depth and tranquility. Ture Ander played a significant role in the Racken group (Rackstadkolonin), an important artistic collective in Sweden at the time. Ander was born on September 17 in Askers socken, Örebro. At the age of 13, he became an apprentice painter in Stockholm, attending evening classes at the Technical School (now known as Konstfack) while working during the day. He earned his journeyman’s certificate in 1902, and the following year, he graduated from the Technical School with the highest honors in painting. In 1905, he was accepted into the Konstnärsförbundets skola (School of the Artists' Association), where he studied alongside notable artists like Leander Engström, Isaac Grünewald, and Einar Nerman...

La Mujer Isla Surrealist Painting
By Enrique Chavarría
Located in Lake Worth Beach, FL
The Island Woman (La Mujer Isla) Artist signed and titled. Enrique Chavarría (1927-1998) was a Mexican painter and neo-surrealist, whose fantastic imagery carries forward the work of the Mexican Surrealists. He created hundreds of easel-sized oil paintings on masonite and numerous smaller works. For four decades his principal patron was Bryna Prensky, an American gallery owner from Florida who moved to Mexico City in 1954. She bought most of Chavarría’s known works for her gallery and her own collection. Prensky said she often found Chavarría in his pajamas at mid-day. He read widely and painted dreamlike images that reflect his wide-ranging scholarly interests. Much of his work is thought to have been inspired by poetry, especially the writings of André Breton, Paul Éluard, Arthur Rimbaud, and Paul Valéry; by the classic surrealism of Salvador Dalí; and by the paintings of Mexican neo-surrealist artists Remedios Varo...
