Richard Ahlqvist

► Richard Ahlqvist (1938–2013) was a visual artist who originally trained as an architect and also found outlets for his artistic leanings in poems, pictorial aphorisms and the theatre. In his drawings and paintings he particularly depicted landscapes and urban scenes, sometimes photorealistically, sometimes abstractly, and sometimes balancing between the two. This book paints a vivid picture of Richard Ahlqvist’s art and personality.
