More information

Edward Hald ville först bli arkitekt och läste därför på handelshögskolan i Leipzig. Till Paris kom Hald 1908 och blev elev hos Henri Matisse. Åter hemma i Sverige blev han en i gruppen "De unga" och deltog i deras utställningar på bl a Hallins Konsthandel 1909-10, Baltiska utställningen i Malmö 1914 och Galerie Der Sturm i Berlin 1915. 1917 kom Hald till Orrefors och blev därefter mest känd och hyllad som en av Sveriges främsta glaskonstnärer. Hald gjorde också betydande insatser för Rörstrands och Karlskronas porslinsfabriker där han kom att formge några av deras mest berömda serviser.

Designer

Edward Hald was a Swedish visual and glass artist born in Stockholm. He studied at the business school in Leipzig, the Artists' Association School, and he also was a student of Henri Matisse in Paris. Hald's artistry in the 1910s exhibited a modernist spirit, inspired by the Fauvist Matisse. Hald designed decorations for various models and services for Rörstrand Porcelain Factory as well as for Karlskrona Porcelain Factory. Edward Hald contributed these works to the Home Exhibition in 1917 at Liljevalchs in Stockholm and was hired by Orrefors Glassworks the same year. Together with Simon Gate and glassmaker Knut Bergqvist, he experimented with overlay glass, resulting in Graal glass. The Graal technique was entirely new and revolutionary. Hald's designs for both engraved and Graal glass display Matisse-inspired elements, humor, and contemporary motifs.
