John Bauer
This collection pays tribute to John Bauer, one of Sweden's most beloved artists, known for his enchanting interpretations of Norse mythology and landscapes. Bauer, born in 1882 in Jönköping, developed an early passion for art and nature, which is reflected in his work. He studied at the Art Academy in Stockholm and quickly became known for his unique and mysterious illustrations, often inspired by Swedish fairy tales and legends.
Among the most famous motifs in this collection is the "Moose Shooters", which is a perfect example of Bauer's skill in combining nature with mythical magic. His work is characterized by a deep sense of detail, an ability to create atmospheric and dreamlike scenes that capture the viewer's imagination.
John Bauer's tragic and untimely death in 1918, in a boating accident that also claimed the lives of his family, brought an abrupt end to his flourishing career. Despite this, his artistry continues to live on and inspire. This collection, printed on high quality paper, is not only a tribute to Bauer's art but also a celebration of his life and legacy. Ideal for art lovers, collectors and anyone who appreciates a deep connection between art and Nordic folklore.
