Philip von Schantz
Philip von Schantz (1928–1998) was a Swedish artist who worked as both a graphic artist and a painter. He had his big breakthrough in 1966, when he exhibited large graphic sheets with medieval battle helmets as motifs. In the same year, he also painted a neorealist equivalent of the graphic theme – a white motorcycle helmet with a raised plastic visor.
In his later paintings, he depicted everyday objects in precise and at the same time enigmatic depictions. Many remember Philip von Schantz for his carefully painted still lifes of everything from root vegetables and apples to gooseberries, blueberries and currants. He himself often emphasized that he had never actually painted any lingonberries.
