Maria Fröberg

Maria Fröberg (1886-1962) was a Swedish pattern designer and artist.

Fröberg studied at Valand School of Fine Arts in Gothenburg in the 1910s and during several study trips in Europe, including in Paris where she studied at Maison Watteau. She participated in exhibitions with the Association of Swedish Women Artists. This was an artists' group formed in 1910 in Stockholm when 40 female artists came together to exhibit. Among them were several women who had studied under Henri Matisse and who had attended art schools alongside the members of the group "De Unga". The female artists were denied membership in the exclusively male association De Unga. To be able to exhibit, they thus formed their own association.

Among Maria Fröberg's public works are the oil paintings for Eskilstuna Higher General School, Slottsskolan in Eskilstuna, the Girls' School in Eskilstuna, and for the IOGT's study hall in Eskilstuna.
