About the Item

Two dreamlike lithographies by Swedish surrealist Max Walter Svanberg (1912-1994). Showcasing some of Svanberg's typical motifs: Women, large birds and imaginary hybrid creatures in muted blue, green, anthracite and yellow colors. Original wooden frames with silver lacquer from custom framer Galerie Colibri in Svanberg’s hometown Malmö - stamped on the back. Beautiful vintage condition. Sweden, 1950. Max Walter Svanberg was a Swedish surrealist painter, illustrator and designer. From a young age, Svanberg was inspired by flora, fauna and the female body - he began sculpting women torsos when he was 10 years old. In 1946, he created the term "Imaginism", and his group Imaginisterne (The Imaginists) became the Swedish branch of the Cobra art movement.
