Edvin Lindholm-Houge was a Swedish painter and draftsman born in Kalmar. A self-taught artist, he was known for his very strict standards, which led to a sparse production of works. His art primarily consists of interiors, landscapes of Öland and paintings of Kalmar, some of which depicted buildings that have since been demolished. He also created drawings that sometimes included satirical and socio-critical commentary.
