This web site is dedicated to informing about Swedish-American artist and illustrator Gustav Tenggren. The content is a brief review of Tenggren's life, and it has no pretention on being complete.
For those who seek more thorough information about Gustaf Tenggren remains to wait for the English version of the biography I have written about him. The Swedish art monograph "Gustaf Tenggren – en biografi" is the result of nearly 25 years research in archives, interviews with relatives and friends, and retrieving books and images from auctions and private collectors. Apart from being an assembly of the information on Gustaf known so far, it contains many new and so far not common facts about the artist's life and production. My hope is that the reader will greet it as the standard work on Gustaf Tenggren that has been missing for so long.
