Landscape with Trees on a Hill

Landscape with Trees on a Hill by Olle Petterson (Swedish 1905-1991). Oil on canvas, presented in its original frame. Signed, circa 1950s/60s. Olle Petterson, born Olof Henry Peterson on 1 May, 1905 in Gothenburg. He was a Swedish painter. Petterson studied in 1930 and 1931 at Valands Malarskola (painting school) in Gothenburg with Sigfrid Ullman (1886-1960) as teacher. Like his generational peers at Valands, he developed a style of painting that differed in important respects from the colour lyricism of the Gothenburg colourists. In a restrained colour palette and with a penetrating study of light, he mainly painted still lifes, window views, figure compositions, urban motifs and landscapes often with a semi-abstract touch. Petterson's paintings are represented at the National Museum in Stockholm, Upplands Museum, the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Gothenburg Art Museum, Malmo Museum, Norrkoping Art Museum and in the State Portrait Collection at Gripsholm Castle. He passed away at the age of 85 on 18 December, 1990 in Gothenburg. The painting is in excellent condition. Dimensions - 39 x 34 cm canvas size / 52 x 46 cm framed (approx).
