A Blossoming Fruit Tree, A Unique Double-Sided Painting by Ture Ander

c. 1920-30

About the Item

We are pleased to present a rare and remarkable work by Swedish artist Ture Ander (1881–1959), often referred to as "The Flower Painter." What makes this painting especially unique is that it is painted on both sides, allowing you to choose which motif to display based on your preference or setting. On one side, we see a blossoming fruit tree from Lövfallet, Ture Ander's family homestead. The vibrant brushwork and rich color palette capture the essence of spring in full bloom, reflecting Ander's deep appreciation for nature. The reverse side offers a tranquil lakeside view, possibly depicting Lake Racken, a setting closely associated with the Rackstad artists' colony in Värmland. This landscape embodies Ander's characteristic impressionistic style, with fluid strokes and a masterful interplay of light and color. Ture Ander trained at the Tekniska Skolan in Stockholm and later studied at Académie Colarossi in Paris, where he was influenced by Paul Cézanne. He became closely associated with the Racken Group, known for its focus on the natural beauty of Värmland. His works are represented in Nationalmuseum, Värmlands Museum, and Örebro Läns Museum.
