Alfred Jansson Summer Garden oil
Alfred Jansson (American/Swedish, 1863-1931), “Summer Garden”, c. 1924; oil/canvas, 32” x 38”, signed and dated, excellent original hand-carved frame. Jansson came to Chicago in 1889, and spent most of his career there, painting impressionist landscapes. He studied in Stockholm and in Paris. He was a member of the Chicago Artist Club, Swedish American Artists, and the Chicago Artist Guild. He exhibited at the Columbian Expo (1893) and the Art Institute of Chicago (1910s). Shortly after Jansson arrived in Chicago, he was awarded a mural commission to decorate the Swedish Building of the World’s Columbian Exposition. This is the best example of this artist’s work we have seen offered for sale.
