EINAR FORSETH (1892-1988). Landskap med hus vid en sjö, signerad EINAR FORSETH, olja på duk, 33,5x47 cm.
Einar Forseths far, Ole Andreas Forseth (1859-1823) var en norsk litograf. Hans mor, Hilda, née Borg (1962-1948), var svenska. Forseth föddes i Linköping men växte upp i Örebro där hans far drev ett litografiskt tryckföretag. Forseth studerade hos fadern mellan 1905-1906.
Det aktuella verket målades troligen under hans studier vid Konstakademien i Stockholm mellan 1912 och 1915. Det var under hans studieår som Axel Fridell målade sitt berömda porträtt av Forseth (se bild). Forseth är mest känd för sina väggmålningar i Stockholms stadshus.
(= Einar Forseth´s father, Ole Andreas Forseth (1859-1823) was a Norwegian litographer. His mother, Hilda, née Borg (1962-1948), was Swedish. Forseth was born in Linköping but grew up in Örebro in Sweden where his father ran a lithographic printing company where he studied between 1905-06. The present work was probably painted shortly before or during his studies at the Royal Academy in Stockholm between 1912-15. It was during these years that Axel Fridell painted his famous portrait of Forseth (se Photograph). Forseth is today most famous for his murals in the Townhall in Stockholm where the nobel festivities are staged annually.)
