Gunnar Norrman
Height of Summer, by Gunnar Norrman

1980

About the Item

Medium: Drypoint Image Size: 8.5 x 6.5 inches Edition 15 Year: 1990 John Russell wrote in a review in the New York Times that "several of Norrman’s images could hang with drawings by Seurat and hold their own". Gunnar Norrmans’s choice of subjects relates ultimately to his home in Lomma, Sweden. The imagery demonstrates how the landscape is dominated by the water between Sweden and Denmark, which at Lomma is exceptionally shallow. After receiving an advanced degree in botany and training for a career as a concert pianist, Gunnar Norrman instead turned to printmaking. After only three months of training at the Royal Academy etching school in Stockholm his first work was exhibited. His subjects — trees, flowers, land- and sea-scapes are filled with a poetic silence conveying the oriental tradition of reverence and humility before nature. For sixty years Norrman worked primarily as a printmaker, creating more than 1000 lithographs and drypoints, and drawings.
