The Halmstad Group was formed by six young Halmstad artists: Sven Jonson, Waldemar Lorentzon, Stellan Mörner, Axel Olson, Erik Olson and Esaias Thorén. They studied modern painting in Berlin and Paris and were amongst the first Swedes who, like Picasso and Léger, experimented with breaking up pictures into cubist compositions. In the 1920s, the group also experimented with concretism, an abstract art form that was revolutionary at that time. At the start of the 1930s, the Halmstad Group entered a new phase, surrealism.

Condition: In very good vintage condition with only minor signs of use relative to age.
