artist biography
Rudolf Persson was born February 17, 1899 in Finnåker, Örebro. He was a Swedish artist.

Persson studied at the Högre konstindustriella skolan in Stockholm from 1916 to 1919 and then the Konstakademien (Royal Academy of Fine Arts) in Stockholm from 1919 to 1923. He took private study trips to Germany, France and Italy. 

Select exhibitions include Nio Unga at Liljevalchs konsthal, Svenska akvareller (Swedish Watercolours) at the National Museum, and ones with the Sveriges allmänna konstförening (Swedish General Art Association). Among his public art works are decorative works in a hall at Cecil in Stockholm, intarsia works at the Scandinavian Bank in Lund and decorative works on the Swedish American Line's M/S Stockholm. He also produced decorative works on the same company's previous ships, but which were not put into service due to the war. He designed a popular and iconic neon sign, showing a green dragon with a moving red tongue of fire, outside the cinema "Draken" (now demolished) in Stockholm. Persson is best known for his stiff lifes, cityscapes, landscapes and figurative works in oil, watercolour or gouache.

Examples of Persson’s work are held in public collections including the National Museum in Stockholm, the Statens Historiska Museum, the Gustav VI Adolf Collection, Säffle City Hall and the Gävleborg County Museum.

He passed away in Stockholm at the age of 76 on May 10, 1975.
