Madeleine Pyk (1934-) Sweden

Madeleine Pyk is a Swedish visual artist and author who studied at the University College of Arts, Crafts & Design and the Swedish Academy of Fine Arts in Stockholm. Pyk paints in a naive style, often with bold colors, and tigers are her signature motif. Pyk’s subjects, her hot summer pictures and icy winter scenes, often with French influences, contain a powerful longing for the idyllic. Her work can be seen at Moderna Museet, the City of Stockholm’s collections and Norrköping Art Museum.
