Talk:Gunnar Berndtson

notability
Gunnar Berndtson is in the List of Finnish painters. You can confirm that his name was there first; a wanted article. Ergo, someone thought he was "notable".

While searching though some old papers today, I came across the journal cover and the related one-page article about him. I liked it enough that I took the trouble to look him up; I only found his name in the list of Finnish painters. That page has a note asking for help in expanding and completing it. Therefore I followed the red link and added what I had time for, including links to better sources that someone with more interest in this area can follow up. I suppose you can confirm that the painting is in the museum's collection.

I must say that the painting reproduced on the journal cover is quite nice; that must be why I saved it for so long. I can see why it made his reputation. I find it touching, and unconventional. Sadly, according to the biographical information in the article, he contracted a chronic, debilitating disease shortly after finishing it, so his body of work is not great.

It should be noted that JAMA thought his work was good enough to use on their cover.
