Ingegerd Beskow
1887-1978.
Artist.
After studying under Carl Wilhelmsson at the Valand School of Painting from 1907 to 1909, Ingegerd Beskow traveled to Paris, where she became a student of Henri Matisse and Maurice Denis.
Beskow was a skilled watercolorist and also painted in oil in a muted, black color. Between 1926 and 1950 she exhibited her art in several major Swedish cities. The motifs were often landscapes, taken from cities such as Stockholm, Uppsala, Växjö and others.
