Bertram Schmiterlöw

Bertram Schmiterlöw (20 January 1920, Karlskrona–28 December 2002, Stockholm) was a Swedish painter, printmaker, draughtsman and sculptor.

Bertram Schmiterlöw's artistry extends through more than five decades and is characterized by figurative, expressive and colorist works where light and surface jointly create the setting.

The themes are often of a desolate, dreamy atmosphere where people are portrayed more as staffage figures rather than as the primary subject matter of the work.

Schmiterlöw also painted portraits of many important members of the Swedish and Argentine trade, industry and government institutions.

Schmiterlow had his artistic training at Otte Skölds art school but left Sweden for Europe and Argentina in his early years.
