More information
Hilding Linnqvist hör till en av Sveriges mest betydande naivister och blev tidigt etablerad och känd för sina färgstarka kompositioner. Linnqvist var en nyckelfigur inom den lyriska naivismen i Sverige med ett måleri som frångick den tekniska perfektion som han skolats i. Flera svenska konstnärer anslöt sig till denna för tiden nytänkande inriktning. Efter studier vid Tekniska skolan och Konstakademin inspirerades han av Edward Munch och Ernst Josephsons sjukdomskonst, något som kom att leda honom mot ett friare och mer ohämmat måleri.
Under 1920-talet genomförde Linnqvist ett flertal utlandsresor och hans kolorit blev ljusare och motiven allt mer detaljerade.
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.
