More information

Ester Almqvist, född i Bromma, Stockholm, studerade bland annat för Gustaf Cederström och Carl Larsson på Valands konstskola i Göteborg och Konstnärsförbundets målarskola i Stockholm. Almqvist var nära vän med Tora Vega Holmström som övertygade henne om att flytta till Skåne där många av hennes målningar är utförda. Almqvist var anhängare av den nationalromantiska traditionen men hennes måleri förebådade den nyskapande neoimpressionistiska och expressionistiska stilen. Almqvist var en framstående skymningsmålare. Hon finns bland annat representerad på Nationalmuseum, Stockholm.
