Lecture by Vibeke Röstorp, PhD

Oskar Bergman (1879-1963) is an artist wellknown for his depiction Swedish landscapes. Common traits for his Swedish landscape paintings include the depiction of wood anemones and hurts with birches. In addition to his interest for Swedish landscapes, Bergman also found the southern European nature appealing, which inspired him to travel to Italy, France and Germany.

Bergman was a diligent exhibitor in Sweden and abroad as his lyrical depictions of the Swedish landscape gained critical acclaim at exhibitions in Rome and San Francisco. Vibeke Röstorp, PhD, will in this lecture present her research on the artist's travels in Sweden and abroad, and the renewed interest for Berman's artistry in France.
