This biography from the Archives of AskART:
|  A long-time president of the Chicago Society of Artists, Gustaf Dalstrom was a painter and museum artist who worked for many years at the Field Museum in Chicago creating "authentically documented settings for various world-wide wildlife displays." (227).
He was born in Gotland, Sweden, and studied at the Art Institute of Chicago with George Bellows and Randall Davey. There he received the Logan Award and Gold Medal for excellence.
One-man exhibitions of his work have been held at the Art Institute as well as at the Renaissance Society of the University of Chicago. Group exhibitions include the New York World's Fair of 1939, the International Watercolor Exhibition, and Riverside Museum Exhibition in New York.
Dalstrom has traveled widely in Europe to paint including in Sweden, Italy, France and Germany. From 1927, he served for many years as President of the Chicago Society of Artists.
