A very desirable Parisian street scene by Alfred Gunnar Bjareby, a well regarded and highly exhibited American
impressionist artist associated to the Swedish School of painters. Of Swedish descent, Bjareby studied under
Gotthard Sandberg in Stockholm before attending the Académie Julian In Paris.
In America, Bjareby attended the Boston Museum School of Art with Luis Thomson and Charles Grafly. He
became an active member of the North Shore Art Association and exhibited there from 1939 to 1955, winning a
number of prizes. In fact, Bjareby exhibited widely and internationally. In Paris in 1933, he exhibited a landscape
at Les Artiste Française exhibition. Also in 1933 at the Salon de Primtemps, where “Winter in Paris” may have
been exhibited and catalogued (Nº. 106).
Additional exhibition records include: Boston Art Club, 1933; Jordan-Marsh exhibitions regularly from 1935 to
1958; The Swedish Circle, Chicago 1946-1955, with medals in 1956 and 1957; Boston Art Festival in 1956;
Gloucester Mass from 1956 to 1958; Ogunquit, Maine from 1950 to 1955.
“Winter in Paris” is a beautiful spontaneously executed work by a most talented painter. The painting is housed
handsomely in a fine gilt frame.
