Understanding an artist's background, artistic periods, and career timeline is crucial for distinguishing authentic signatures from forgeries.
Jonny Forsstrom discovered art relatively late in life. Maybe that's why Jonny Forsstrom still has the curiosity and creativity that of a child. He was in his twenties when he started taking it seriously.
Jonny got glasses as a six-year-old, and in the 50s that was a sure sign of weakness that would rule out soccer and wild kids play. But for the first time, he got to see things clearly. A by-standing voyeur taking note of people's gestures.
He had a variety of jobs after his school years; he was a sailor, a shipyard worker, in the hotel business in Gothenburg and Stockholm, and barely got by. His newly discovery of art gave him hope and a new sense of freedom, a new awakening of the world.
After 40 years of exploring the human psyche and challenging composition and color boundaries, Jonny Forsstrom is still going strong.
