Einar Jolin (1890–1976), artist, composed his paintings in calm color planes with graceful contour lines. His style is slightly naïve, superficially simplified and decorative. The colors are blond and cool, shimmering as if they were painted on silk. His paintings often have an atmosphere of Sunday peace. Jolin entered the Artists' Association's painting school in 1907. The following year he traveled with Isaac Grünewald to Paris, where he became a student of Matisse. He became good friends with Nils Dardel, and in the summer of 1913 they depicted street life in the medieval town of Senils. Both Jolin and Dardel were clearly inspired by French naïves, not only Rousseau but also by Séraphine who lived in Senils. Shortly before the outbreak of war in 1914, he settled in Stockholm, and from the heights of Söder he painted peaceful views of the harbor entrance. He is considered a significant Stockholm painter.
