More information
Oskar Bergman (1879–1963) was a Swedish painter, graphic artist, and watercolourist who belonged to the same generation as, among others, Carl Larsson and Bruno Liljefors, but he forged his own path. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and quickly became known for his unique ability to render the Swedish landscape in watercolour and gouache with meticulous precision. Bergman's images are often characterised by an almost fairy-tale clarity – snow-covered landscapes, tranquil groves, blooming meadows, and waterways are depicted in a atmospheric, sometimes almost magical light. He was also a skilled graphic artist, producing many woodcuts and etchings.
Neglinge, in Saltsjöbaden outside Stockholm, played an important role in his life. There, Oskar Bergman had his home and studio for most of his life, and the nature in the area became one of his main sources of inspiration. The region around Neglinge, with its proximity to the archipelago, pine forests, and the characteristic lakes, recurs in many of his paintings.
Artist
Oskar Bergman was a Swedish visual artist born in Stockholm. Bergman was self-taught and took much inspiration from his study trips to Germany, Italy and France. Bergman worked as an etcher and painter, with his paintings, which emulate an overpowering Swedishness, is valued today not only in Sweden, but also international artists. With his razor-sharp and lifelike depictions of both city scapes and rural landscapes, Bergman managed to capture viewers and art audiences alike. As a self-taught artist, one is particularly impressed by his detailed and evocative painting style.
