More information

Trots ett flertal studieresor till flera av Europas länder samt även en studietid vid École des Beaux-Arts i Paris var det ändå den svenska naturen som kom att bli Johan Tiréns favoritämne. Strax efter sitt giftermål med konstnärinnan Gerda Rydberg flyttade familjen till jämtländska Oviken. Under otaliga resor till fjällen och täta kontakter med samekulturen kom Johan Tirén att leva sig in i deras tillvaro. Han ville skildra samernas dagliga liv med allt vad det innebar av kamp och nöd. Johan Tiréns strävade också genom sin konst efter större rättvisa åt samerna.
