Studio-Talk
scapists, with the exception perhaps of Prince
Eugen, has a stronger sense of decorative style.
Hesselbom’s big, often panoramic pictures, like
the beautiful Our Country, Over Forests, Mountains
and Lakes, or My Fatherland., ought to be
used for architectural purposes.
Two other artists, of whom one cannot
say that they are new to the Swedish public,
have also been having separate exhibitions
—Per Ekstrom and Olof Arborelius. Both
are old in years but young in spirit, and
their works are far from showing any
weakening. Both confine themselves mainly
to landscape painting. Ekstrom’s power of
painting different sun effects seems to be
the same as ever. Good examples of the
art of Hesselbom and Ekstrom were bought
by the National Museum in Stockholm,
which museum also has acquired one of
the very best pictures by Eugen Jansson.
Professor Arborelius comes from Dalarne,
which is also Zorn’s country, and many are
the pictures he has painted of that region.
As a student he won the Royal Medal at
the Academy of Arts, and also a travelling
scholarship which enabled him to visit
Diisseldorf, Munich, Paris, and Rome. He
was for a time a teacher at the School of
Decorative Art here, and in 1890 was elected
member of the Royal Academy of Liberal
328
Arts, afterwards becoming
professor of landscape
painting in the Academy.
That his works are much
esteemed is shown by the
fact that several have
been acquired by the
National Museum in
Stockholm, the Gothen-
burg Museum, the Finnish
Museum, Helsingfors, and
various foreign institu-
tions, as well as by distin-
guished individuals, and
further by the fact that
he has received gold
medals at several inter-
national exhibitions. He
always paints direct from
Nature and though he now
devotes his talent almost
wholly to landscape, he
still occasionally paints a figure-subject, especially
when visiting his native region where the peasantry,
with their picturesque costumes, furnish an abund-
ance of interesting themes for the painter. T. L.
