- Gerhard Nordström (often spelled as Gerhard Nordstrom) (15 August 1925 - 13 March 2019, Lund) was a prominent Swedish painter and graphic artist. Gerhard was the son of Joel Nordström, a priest, and Ester Nordström. He was one of four children. He was raised primarily in Sjörup and Gessie, Sweden. His eldest sibling was noted actress, Karin Nordström. Gerhard attended both Skåne Painting School (Skånska Målarskolan) in Malmö (1940 - 1942) and The Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm (1943 -1949). His teacher at Skåne Painting School was the artist Tage Hansson. While attending The Royal Academy, he studied under the artist Fritiof Schüldt. During the period of 1964-1987, he was a painting teacher at the Målarskolan Forum in Malmö, along with fellow teachers Staffan Nihlén and Bertil Lundberg (Lundberg taught at "sister-school" Grafikskolan Forum). He was best known for his 1970s works such as "Utflykt i det gröna" (Picnic in the Park), which centered on social/political commentary, and his latter works such as "Näckrosdamm" (Water Lilies), which centered on his interpretations of Monet's Gardens in Giverny, France. During his lifetime, Nordström continued to be not only a well-regarded artist but also a popular one. As late as 2017, Nordström's works were given an exhibition by the Malmo-based art gallery "Galleri Estetica". The forty-five works presented by the gallery were sold out during the exhibition. He maintained a studio at "Bong's Old Cannery" in Ystad for a number of years. With declining health, he closed his studio but continued to paint from his home at Stortorget in Ystad. Gerhard Nordström died at Ystad Sweden on March 13, 2019. He was 93 years of age. (en)
