Ulf Linde om cigarrmålningarna på Svensk-Franska konstgalleriet, Stockholm, 1962.

"De vita ytor som bär Reuterswärds figurer är fräscha, aldrig solkade av spår efter trevnaden - hur förklara denna direkthet, denna distinktion i utförande? Menar han alltid vad han gör, så att han ingenting behöver ångra? Eller är det därför att korrigeringarna alltid inträffar i en ny form bredvid, i nästa term i serien? Eller är han så ohämmat uppslagsrik att han alltid finner en roll också för det han aldrig avsett?

Det viktigaste är nog att han kan sätta en fräckt enkel och vanlig form på duken och ge den en oanad historia. En ny historia. Om hans konst äger behag, är det verkligen nyhetens behag." ur Stil är bedrägeri - Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd", Arena 2004, sid 98.

More about Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd

Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd (1934-2016), is a Swedish painter and sculptor who lives in Switzerland. He studied with Fernand Léger in Paris 1951-1952 and was a professor of painting at The Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm 1965-1969. He lived in Bussigny/Laussane and Paris. In 1974 he was a guest professor at Minneapolis School of Art, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Reuterswärd is known for his sculpture showing a revolver tied in a knot, called Non Violence, on display outside United Nations headquarters in New York.

One of the first established artists to use the hologram technique was Bruce Nauman who recorded a well-known series of pulsed-laser transmission holograms entitled Making Faces in 1968. His holograms were exhibited at the Castelli Gallery in New York. Another famous artist was Salvador Dalí who made holograms at McDonnell Douglas holographic labs in the USA and exhibited in New York at the Knoedler Gallery. Harriet Casdin-Silver in the USA and Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd in Sweden are two other established artists who were attracted to lasers and holography and created early holographic art pieces in the late 60’s and early 70’s. Reuterswärd’s early work, including laser and holography art pieces, is described in the book:

25 YEARS IN THE BRANCH, Benteli Verlag Berne, Switzerland, 1977. ISBN 91-7100-125-5.
