More information

In the mid-1940s, Bror Hjorth and his wife Tove built the residential building that today is a museum, Bror Hjorths Hus, in Uppsala. Bror Hjorth lived and worked there for the last twenty-five years of his life.

Bror Hjorth was a diligent and skilled cartoonist. Between 1949 and 1959 he was a professor of drawing at the Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. With a few quick strokes, he managed to capture the characteristic and give the image both form and volume.

“In the best drawing, you feel ”painting". For example, it is difficult to imagine more "picturesque" drawings than Bror Hjorth's. In that case, it would be Siri Derkerts or Vera Nilsson’s. With Lage Lindell, the blackness comes over the sheets of paper in anxious shock, while with Evert Lundquist the blackness is condensed into a single, inseparable object. ”
From a review from Liljevalchs, Svenska Dagbladet 2004-04-24
