Nils von Dardel - Young Man and Girl [1919]


Nils von Dardel (Bettna, 1888 - New York, 1943) was a Swedish artist. Von Dardel led a self-destructive, itinerant and hectic life. Many of his later paintings are portraits of people he met on his travels. Around the time of the outbreak of World War II, the Liljevalchs Konsthall in Stockholm mounted a retrospective of his work; this was his final popular breakthrough in his native country.
