Karin Parrow
Karin Parrow (1900–1984) née Taube, born 1900 in Vinga, died 1984, was a Swedish artist who studied at Valand Art School 1926–1929 and the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris 1929. During her studies at Valand, she had Tor Bjurström as her teacher, who wanted the students to find their individual style. His teaching at Valand would be of great importance for the development of the art movement known as the Gothenburg School. Bjurström taught his students to express themselves in pure color and simple form. Parrow belonged to this group together with her sister Märta Taube who was married to Ivan Ivarson, whose house on Stenungsön in Bohuslän would become an important place for their circle of artists. Parrow painted mainly landscapes, still lifes and portraits, whose work is characterized by a strong sense of empathy and directness. She has participated in several major exhibitions and is represented at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm and the Gothenburg Art Museum, as well as in Gävle, Borås and several other museums. She was the sister of Evert Taube and the artist Märta Taube.
