Stig Asberg

[Sweden] (b 1909/d 1968)


" Stig Asberg studied at Konstfack in Stockholm and became relatively famous in 1936 with illustrations made for a book by Gustav Sandgren...(..) He then developed a close cooperation with several Swedish writers., and apart from illustrations for books, he also designed postage stamps and notably etchings, often of landscapes. He was heavily influenced by the experience of living in several of the countries around the Baltic Sea as a child and by the harsh conditions under which he lived as a youth, on the verge of starvation, in Södermanland. (..) There are works by Åsberg in the collections of Nationalmuseum, Stockholm and the National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen, among others.
