Ture Ander
A Bouquet of Digitalis, Poppy, Iris, Snapdragons, Cornflower, Buttercup, 1936

1936

About the Item

Ture Ander (1881-1959) Sweden A Bouquet of Digitalis, Poppy, Iris, Snapdragons, Cornflower, Buttercup. 1936 oil on board signed and dated Ture Ander 36 board dimensions 24,41 x 18,90 inches (62 x 48 cm) frame 29,13 x 24,02 inches (74 x 61 cm) Provenance: A private collection, Värmland, Sweden. Essay: Nestled in the repertoire of Ture Ander (1881-1959), a notable member of the Rackstagruppen (Racken Group), is this breathtaking bouquet, capturing the essence of nature's flowering beauty. The artwork offers a glimpse into a moment frozen in time—a moment where flowers in full bloom exude their ephemeral charm. Anchoring the composition is a resplendent bouquet, housed in a striking blue glass vase, which stands gracefully upon a round wooden table. Ander's choice of blossoms is both eclectic and symbolic. From the towering Digitalis and gentle Poppy to the elegant Iris, passionate Snapdragons, rustic Cornflower, and the delicate Buttercup, each flower brings its unique aura to the bouquet. Collectively, they create an opulent tapestry of color, form, and texture, demonstrating the artist's profound understanding of botany and aesthetics. The tradition of flower still life, holds a revered place in art history. Such compositions, apart from their aesthetic appeal, often delve deeper, addressing themes of transience, beauty, and the cyclical nature of life. Ander's piece, too, is more than just a visual treat—it's an invitation to meditate on the fleeting beauty of existence, reminding us of the transient nature of life itself. The painting comes with a beautiful dark brown frame. It is signed and dated '36, this artwork is not just a testament to Ture Ander's unparalleled prowess but also a window into the vibrant art scene of the 1930s, especially within the Racken Group—an influential art collective that profoundly shaped the Nordic art landscape.

Wallander studied at the Stockholm Royal Academy of Fine Arts 1880–1885, where he had his uncle as a teacher for a while. He further studied for Aimé Morot and Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant in Paris 1885–1889, where he also participated in the Paris Salon in 1889. At the 1889 World's Fair in Paris, he was awarded first prize for his pastel painting Tiggargubbe (Today in Göteborgs Konstmuseum collection). When he returned to Sweden in 1890, he stood behind the controversial group "Opponenterna" and participated in the group's exhibitions during the 1890s. He began his artistic career as a painter and was a member of the Swedish Artists' Association. Under the influence of his friend Oscar Björck in the 1890s, he adopted a symbolist style, which later reappeared in his ceramics. From 1910 until his death, he was also curator of the Swedish General Art Association and, from 1908, headteacher of freehand drawing at the Technical School in Stockholm. With his wife Gerda Wallander, he exhibited at the Artists' House in 1910 and at the Swedish General Art Association in 1914 and with Oscar Björck, Bruno Liljefors...

  • Spring Blossom Impression by Swedish Plein Air Artist Anders Ståhl
    Located in Stockholm, SE
    Anders Ståhl, Swedish painter, born 1966. Since modernism, outdoor painting has largely been forgotten by professional painters, but the Swedish artist Anders Ståhl keeps the historical tradition of Plein Air alive. Not least when it comes to partly lost working methods in the field. For Anders, this has been a most natural way of creating since childhood; to interpret what he sees and feels, by drawing and painting.  Quickly capturing impressions in the field is one of the most demanding ways of painting you can imagine, since you are simultaneously fighting against both time and the elements. Back in the comfort of the studio, there is so much more time to interpret and perhaps work with larger formats. Anders has a strong artistic relationship with painters from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, especially the French impressionists and Nordic landscape...
