A painter and print maker, Anders Aldrin became known for his color
wood-blocks and his paintings of still lifes, landscapes, and portraits
of "broad, quick strokes and intense hues". He was born in
Sternfors, Sweden and showed artistic talent as a child. He immigrated
to the United States in 1911, escaping his family who disapproved of
him choosing art as a career.
While serving in the army, he
contracted tuberculosis and began painting at the VA hospital in
Arizona. (showing 500 of 4663 characters). |
