Manne Valfrid Östlund, born 1 May 1904 in Österfärnebo in Gävleborg County, died 5 May 1957 in Valbo in Gävleborg County, was a Swedish painter, draftsman and sculptor.
He was the son of bookkeeper Jonas Olsson-Östlund and Maria Andersson and married from 1941 to weaving teacher Brita Evelina Persson. After Östlund studied for a year at the Royal Academy of Arts in Stockholm, he debuted with a solo exhibition in Gävle in 1924, which was followed by a solo exhibition in 1926 where he showed fairy tale drawings and caricatures that were strongly influenced by Einar Nerman and Ivar Arosenius.
During the 1930s and 1940s he switched to a surrealist style in the spirit of Gösta Adrian-Nilsson and later approached the decorative style practiced by the other members of the Halmstad group. His decorative ability was used to a great extent for a number of public works where he contributed to the design of the Gävle museum in 1940, which later led to him receiving a museum work at, among others, the Nordic Museum, Frame dimensions 51 x 71 cm.
