Artist

Carl Larsson

Born into poverty, Carl Larsson (Swedish, 1853–1919) earned a scholarship to study art and succeeded in supporting himself as an illustrator of books and periodicals. He lived in Paris for several years before meeting artist Karin Bergöö, who encouraged his transition from large-scale allegorical oil paintings to light-infused watercolors—the medium for which Larsson is best known. The two married and moved into a cozy cottage in rural Sundborn, Sweden, where they raised their eight children. In Sundborn, he found his artistic voice, documenting his home, family, friends, and neighbors in charming detail. Larsson—whose style was a unique amalgam of Swedish folk traditions, English Arts and Crafts design ideas, and Art Nouveau with Japanese influences—is still revered as Sweden’s best-loved artist.

So much appreciated…!

I am so delighted to receive wonderful stationery from you! Placing my order was so easy - your customer service young women are charming!! I love the Carl Larsson artwork - his family, their home and garden… entire environment. I wish you would offer more of his “touching and tender” creations. Perhaps your audience for Scandinavian painters is not among the largest…however, the deep “love of family” he captures is evident to every person.
Your quality is outstanding… your delivery “on time” and in perfect condition.

Thank you very much!
Best wishes,
M.E.

(Also… would you expand to include Vuillard (used to offer the garden card), Pissaro, Sisley…? Would be of interest to you fans of Monet!)
