Artist

August Hagborg was a Swedish artist born in Gothenburg. He studied at The Royal Academy of Fine Arts and in France together with Georg Pauli and Axel Borg. He is represented by the national museum in Stokcholm and the Luxemburg Museum. Hagborg is most notably known for his beautiful, realistic paintings from Normandy's coast where painted portraits of the french fisherman. Yellow and red tones are stand out in his previous artworks, and he later painted in a grey-pink palett.
