| dbo:abstract | Torsten Edvard Billman (* 6. Mai 1909 in bei Kungsbacka; † 6. April 1989 in Kungsbacka, Schweden) war ein schwedischer Grafiker, Maler und Buchillustrator. (de) Torsten Edvard Billman (6 May 1909 – 6 April 1989) was a Swedish artist who worked as a printmaker, illustrator, and buon fresco painter. He counts as one of the 20th century's premier wood-engravers. The poet Gunnar Ekelöf wrote about Torsten Billman: "To those, who with the word art visualise large, magnificent, 'striking' canvases Torsten Billman doesn't have not much to offer. His art serves the simple, neglected, homeless of existence. It features the fellows from the Nippon and other ships, marked by the hard life in ports as well as on board. His art shows the interiors of East End bars, where you get acquainted with the dark side of life. His art however isn't any 'social' art of the arrogant, placarding character there was so much of especially during the 1920s and 30s. It's social, not in attitude or trend, but with objectivity and revealing sharpness in the human portrayal that sometimes seems almost brutal - repulsive, but sadly true. Yet it's, however always carried by compassion. Never by sentimentality. This involves a simple statement of: 'Such is man'. But from the ravaged features, and the gout-ridden limbs stiff from work there's still a notion emanating of how man should look like and could look like." (en) Torsten Edvard Billman, född 6 maj 1909 i Kullavik, död 6 april 1989 i Kungsbacka, var en svensk konstnär främst verksam som grafiker, tecknare och monumentalmålare. Torsten Billman var upphovsman till grisailleträsnittstekniken. På Hallands Konstmuseum finns en omfattande samling av Torsten Billmans verk och kvarlåtenskap. Billman finns också representerad vid bland annat Göteborgs konstmuseum och Nationalmuseum i Stockholm. (sv) |
