Waldemar Sjölander

I grew up wit a lot of Waldemar Sjölander (read more here if you understand Swedish) on the walls. My dad knew him from Gothenburg when they were young and he has written a book about him. I was 13 when I traveled with my dad and visited his home and studio in Mexico City (I was a bit too young for this adventure, beeing more interested in getting a tan on the roof than study his sculptures). My dad is thinking of what to do with his collection so I went out today to note down my favorites. Some images are details and it is lithographs, pen-and-ink drawings and gouaches. I love them.

I just realized that I have only uploaded women, he did work with other motifs aswell.
