Seven (7) cast zodiac artificial stone reliefs, c. 1940-1950 by sculptor Manne Östlund (1904-1957). Manne Valfrid Östlund, born 1 May 1904 in Österfärnebo in Gävleborg County, died 5 May 1957 in Valbo in Gävleborg County, was a Swedish painter, draftsman and sculptor. He was the son of bookkeeper Jonas Olsson-Östlund and Maria Andersson and married from 1941 to weaving teacher Brita Evelina Persson. After Östlund studied for a year at the Royal Academy of Arts in Stockholm, he debuted with a solo exhibition in Gävle in 1924, which was followed by a solo exhibition in 1926 where he showed fairy tale drawings and caricatures that were strongly influenced by Einar Nerman and Ivar Arosenius. During the 1930s and 1940s he switched to a surrealist style in the spirit of Gösta Adrian-Nilsson and later approached the decorative style practiced by the other members of the Halmstad group. His decorative ability was used to a large extent for a number of public works where he contributed to the design of the Gävle museum in 1940, which later led to him receiving museum work at, among others, the Nordic Museum, Hudiksvalls museum, Umeå museum, Skellefteå museum and Luleå museum. At the end of the 1940s, he was hired to carry out a number of monumental decorations with ceiling murals, reliefs, mosaic work and designing the ironwork. His great interest in homestead care led to him receiving a number of assignments which were basically the renovation of old homesteads in the county as well as the preservation of the old folk art of guest houses. Among his public works are paintings in Valbo municipal hall, Årsuda municipal hall, Hagaström school, Forsbacka grave chapel, Storvik courthouse, Nordic Museum, stained glass in the bodega in Gävle and Norrbo church as well as the blacksmith for several schools and other public buildings. He was awarded the Gefle Dagblad's cultural prize for valuable artistic and cultural preservation work in 1956. In addition to his own solo exhibitions in Gävle, he exhibited together with Nils Söderberg in Gävle in 1929 and together with Ruben Wallström and Nils Söderberg in Uppsala in 1931. He participated in the Geflesalong in 1927, the Culture Fair in Gävle in 1944 and in an exhibition of Gävleborg art in Gothenburg and Uppsala in 1935 as well as the Gävleborg county art association's county exhibitions 1943–1945 and 1947–1953. He was represented in the exhibition Swedish watercolors 1925–1947 which was shown at the Art Academy in Stockholm in 1947. A memorial exhibition of his art was shown at the Gävle museum in 1958. Östlund was frequently employed as an illustrator in Dagens Nyheter, Idun, Hälsingerunor 1935–1937 and Gävleborg's journalists' Christmas magazine...
