Anna Boberg's artistry attracted great attention last year with the exhibition “Women Pioneers — Visionary Landscapes” at Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde in Stockholm.
She grew up in a high-bourgeois family in Stockholm. His father Fredrik Wilhelm Scholander was an architect and professor at the Academy of Fine Arts. Anna Boberg studied for a few weeks at the Académie Julian in Paris, but was almost an autodidact when on a trip to Lofoten she was caught by the magnificent nature with the mountains and the sea, the midnight sun in summer and the northern lights in winter. In her autobiography Envar Fate's Playball, 1934, Anna Boberg writes:
“After a week of outdoor recreation with the fish farm Svolvær to the operating base, I was so carried away in Lofotnatura, that I flatly refused to go home. I wanted to stay and paint, paint, paint. My husband took the road home across Trondhjem and sent me from there all the necessary target paraphernalia.”
Her husband, architect Ferdinand Boberg, designed some of Stockholm's most famous buildings — such as LO castle in 1899, Rosenbad in 1903, Prince Eugen's Waldemarsudde in 1904, Thielska galerie in 1905 and Nordiska Kompaniet in 1915 — and gave orders that could include entire interiors including furniture and arts and crafts. Anna Boberg's capacity as a designer was used here.
In 1903 Anna Boberg exhibited her paintings from Lofoten in Stockholm for the first time. Criticism was mixed. She had greater success with an exhibition in Paris in 1905, which received very positive reviews and laid the foundation for a career as an artist in France. Her work is represented in several Swedish museum collections and abroad.
In the painting of the auction, Anna Boberg, in the spirit of the 1890s, has depicted an arranged set with peacock feathers and plants in a vase, a sculpture and a potted plant.
Compare almost identical painting by the artist, signed Anna Boberg, sold at Bukowskis IWS 7 December 2023, catalogue number 597.
