About Roland Svensson (1910-2003)
The painter, graphic artist, cartoonist, cultural historian, geographer and writer Roland Svensson has enriched our view of the archipelago and no one has succeeded in depicting the entire archipelago environment with boats, wildlife and people in the same way as him.
The Stockholmer and metropolitan son Roland Svensson set out to explore the archipelago early on, which he tried to experience and interpret from the perspective of the people of the archipelago. He saw it as his calling, to document in words and pictures the sea land, before it would disappear. As a landscape painter, Karl Nordström was his master, Axel Sjöberg exemplified in his interpretation of nature and Bruno Liljefors as a portraitist of the archipelago.
During his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in the 1930s, Roland Svensson's interest in graphics grew. At the School of Graphic Art, which was led by the artists Emil Johansson-Thor and Harald Sallberg, it was Sallberg who in 1936 made him choose lithography among the graphic techniques. Roland Svensson's explorations to Möja, Sandhamn and the archipelagos Nassa, Kallskär and Gilløya as well as the North and South Atlantic inspired several works.
When, in connection with the 100th anniversary of Stockholm University in 1978, he received the honorary doctorate of philosophy, the motivation was: “The artist Roland Svensson has established himself a recognized position as a painter, mainly with motifs from the Stockholm archipelago, but then also with fields of activity extended to other coasts and oceans. In addition to his long-recognized position as an artist, Svensson has increasingly come to depict various marine environments in a prominent way in writing. In his work there are several depictions based on many years of research from the Stockholm archipelago but also from several island communities, where people's living conditions are predominantly dominated by the marine environment. tex Tristan da Cunha”.
