More information

Hilding Linnqvist blev redan under det tidiga 1900-talet känd för sin färgstarka framtoning och naivistiska stil. Under 1910-talet blev han en portalfigur för naivismen i Sverige och har även kallats för lyrikern bland de svenska konstnärer som anslöt sig till denna för tiden nytänkande inriktning.

Efter studier vid Kungliga Konstakademien i Stockholm inspirerades Hilding Linnqvist av både Edvard Munch och Ernst Josephsons sjukdomskonst, vilket kom att leda honom mot ett ledigare och mer otvunget måleri.

Hilding Linnqvist är otvivelaktigt en av Sveriges främsta naivistiska skildrare. Intresset för hans konst har växt ytterligare, både i Sverige och utomlands, efter den aktuella publiksuccéen på Liljevalchs i Stockholm (9 oktober - 10 januari 2021) och den nu pågående utställningen på Nordiska Akvarellmuseet i Skärhamn (26 september - 16 januari 2022).

I auktionens oljemålning föreställande ett åsknedslag möter vi blixtens dramatiska och effektfulla nedslag bortanför det sargade trädet. Trädstammen omringas av vädrets spektakulära makter, som Hilding Linnqvist återger i känslofulla blå, rosa och gröna nyanser.

More about Hilding Linnqvist

Hilding Linnqvist is one of Sweden's most important naïve painters and became established and known early on for his colourful compositions. Linnqvist was a key figure in lyrical naivism in Sweden, with a style of painting that departed from the technical perfection he had been trained in. Several Swedish artists joined this innovative direction for the time. After studying at the Technical School and the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts, he was inspired by Edward Munch and Ernst Josephson's malaise art, which led him towards a freer and more uninhibited style of painting. During the 1920s, Linnqvist travelled abroad several times and his colours became brighter and his subjects more detailed.
He later painted coastal scenes and portraits, among other things. By the early 1940s, Hilding Linnqvist was an established and well-travelled artist, as well as a professor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in 1939-1941 and the subject of a major exhibition there in 1940.
