Nils von Dardel - The Return to the Playgrounds of Youth [1924], a photo by Gandalf's Gallery on Flickr.
Nils von Dardel (Bettna, October 25, 1888 - New York City, May 25, 1943) was a Swedish post-impressionist painter. 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.
