About the Item
A beautifully painted branch with green and reddish apples by Otto Strandman (1871-1960). Signed with monogram 'OS' and dated '7 SEPT. 1895'. Watercolor and gouache on paper.
Otto Strandman received his education at the The College of Design and Crafts school in Gothenburg and the Royal Art Academy in Stockholm 1891–1895, and then in Germany, Italy and Paris in 1899. He won the King's Medal in 1895. In 1907 he worked as an extra teacher at the Royal Technical University in Stockholm and in 1915 he became a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.
Mostly he became known as a skilled sculptor. He created reliefs, as well as many small sculptures and art-industrial objects such as electric lamps, hand mirrors, goblets and jewelry in precious metals. He has also painted in oil and watercolor, portraits, animal studies, landscapes and floral still lifes. With the knowledge as a sculptor, he could give that extra dimension to a subject on painted surface as in the present watercolor of a branch with apples.
In 1914, he exhibited all his sculptures, paintings and drawings in Stockholm. His bust of Gustav II Adolf in Umeå was unveiled by Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf in 1924.
Strandman is represented in several museums, including Trelleborg Museum, Norrköping Art Museum and Västerås Art Museum, as well as in the Royal Library and the National Museum in Stockholm.
Popular Christian tradition holds that Adam and Eve ate an apple from the forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden. As a result, the apple became a symbol for knowledge, immortality, temptation, love, beauty, the fall of man and sin.
