About the Item
This charming naivist painting by Swedish artist Olof (Olle) Casimir Ågren (1874–1962) depicts a horse standing gracefully beside a tree. Executed with bold, textured brushstrokes and an abundance of paint, the artwork radiates warmth and personality, capturing a rustic simplicity that is deeply appealing.
Born in Alsen, Jämtland, Ågren initially pursued architecture before turning to painting. He studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm and furthered his training in Berlin, Paris, Italy, and southern France. While his earlier works often included urban and harbor scenes with influences from 14th-century Italian painting, this later piece reflects the charm and simplicity of his rural life in Flivik, where he moved in 1938.
Despite dedicating much of his later years to farming, Ågren exhibited widely in Sweden, including at prestigious venues such as Liljevalchs Konsthall and Göteborgs Konsthall. His works are held in major collections, including the Nationalmuseum and Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Jamtli Östersund, Göteborgs konstmuseum, and Prins Eugens Waldemarsudde.
