About the Artist:
Max Walter Svanberg (February 21, 1912 – May 28, 1994) was a visionary Swedish surrealist painter, illustrator, and designer. Born in Malmö, his childhood passion for craftsmanship flourished into a lifelong pursuit of artistry. Despite a bout with polio, Svanberg's dedication never waned. He co-founded the Minotaur group, infused with surrealism, and later embraced Imaginism. His evocative works, glorifying universal womanhood, captivated audiences worldwide. Svanberg's technique, blending India ink, watercolor, gouache, and pastel, created mesmerizing compositions, while his collages and lithographs added depth to his oeuvre. His legacy shines in museums from Stockholm to New York, immortalizing his captivating fusion of the feminine form with nature's wonders.
