More information

Edward Hald ingick i den grupp utvalda, unga konstnärer som fick möjlighet att ställa ut på Herwarth Waldens galleri Der Sturm i Berlin 1915. Det var första gången en grupp svenska konstnärer fick ställa ut på Waldens internationellt uppmärksammade galleri och de fyra andra deltagarna var paret Hjertén-Grünewald, GAN samt Einar Jolin. Hald, som senare kom att utvecklas till en framstående glaskonstnär, experimenterade under den här tiden i sitt måleri med badande, nakna kroppar i rörelse - gärna som i denna målning ”Figurer i landskap" med utsikt över skärgårdens klippor och havsvikar. Kännetecknande för Halds konstnärskap är även den väl genomförda teckningen och det har till och med sagts att han tecknade i olja.

Artist

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.
