Eugène Jansson
Swedish, 1862–1915
Eugène Jansson was a Swedish Post-Impressionism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Cleveland Museum of Art. Eugène Jansson was born in Jakob and Johannes parish.
Eugène Fredrik Jansson (18 March 1862, Stockholm – 15 June 1915, Nacka) was a Swedish painter known for his night-time land- and cityscapes dominated by shades of blue. Towards the end of his life, from about 1904, he mainly painted male nudes. The earlier of these phases has caused him to sometimes be referred to as blåmålaren, "the blue-painter".
Queer commentators have described Jansson as Sweden's first gay artist, a reputation based primarily on his male nudes.
