Evert Lundquist (1904–94) is a key figure in modern Swedish art, both as an artist and a teacher. His debut was in 1934, and his career spans more than fifty years.
In 1989, Evert Lundquist was still presenting new work, demonstrating that although he was almost blind he not only continued to be a vigorous artist but also contributed new pieces to the understanding of his lifelong oeuvre. After his death, however, interest in Lundquist’s work waned. The lively discourse came to a halt and he was commonly regarded as a bourgeois artist who portrayed the light and timeless motifs in the classical tradition.
