Bengt Lindström developed a language framed within modern art, specifically expressionism, COBRA and Art Brut. It is characterized by being intense, primary and very powerful at a chromatic and gestural level. He trained in Stockholm with I. Grünewald, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and at the Art Institute of Chicago. In 1947 he settled in Paris, where he completed his studies with A. Lothe and F. Léger, in addition to experimenting with a wide variety of procedures and techniques. Recognized from the fifties onwards, Lindström held solo exhibitions in cities such as Paris, London, Brussels, Cincinnati and Tokyo. Most of his work is currently held at the Krimaro Foundation, as well as the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid, the Carnegie Institute, the Pompidou Center in Paris and the Tate Gallery in London, among many others.
