CONTACT USSKU#: 120869US Shipping $319 + insurance.BIOGRAPHY:Harald Knut-Ekwall was born on December 14, 1873 in Leipzig, Sachsen, Germany. He is the son of successful Swedish artist Knut Ekwall (1843-1912) and nephew of artist Emma Ekwall (1838-1930). Harald's birth came during a brief period of time when his father was studying art in Leipzig. He has several siblings who were also artists, many of whom have artwork in the marketplace that often is confused with Harald's and/or his father's. Harald Ekwall's father had studied at the Academy of Arts in Stockholm, and ultimately gained much acclaim and recognition for his skill as a xylographer (woodcut designer) and draftsman. Many of his father's works were reproduced as engravings, and some of his paintings are today considered national treasures of Sweden.Harald seems to have followed in his father's footsteps, painting in oils throughout his lifetime. In 1900 the 27 year old artist departed the European continent on a ship named Hermonthis, destined for Valparaiso, a cultural city center along the coast of Chile. According to public records, it appears that the artist remained in Chile for over a decade, eventually gaining Chilean citizenship. In 1912, he returned to Sweden, where he represented Chile in the 1912 Olympic Games held in Stockholm. He competed in Men's Shooting events including Free Pistol, Dueling Pistol, and Military Rifle. Harald Knut-Ekwall is recognized primarily as a maritime painter, although he is known to have branched out into other genres as well, including landscape and horses and riders in Western Style. It appears that many of his artworks were produced during his years in Chile, though no information has been gathered as to any specific artistic studies he may have undertaken during this time period.His works are usually signed "Harald Knut-Ekwall", while his father's works are typically signed "Knut Ekwall". Harald had at least four siblings, most of which were practicing artists. They often sign their paintings with their first initial followed by "Knut-Ekwall", possibly as a method to attract buyers who have knowledge of their famous father. One of the siblings signed their work "KE", with a backwards K and an E sharing a central vertical spine.There research into this artist is ongoing, and new facts and examples of his work are emerging over time. His legacy, though primarily that of a maritime painter, extends to an increasing number of other types of scenes as well.Unfortunately, little is known about the artist's fate after 1912. The date and location of his death remain unknown.
