About Nils Dardel
Nils Elias Kristofer von Dardel, sometimes known as Nils de Dardel, was a 20th-century Swedish Post-Impressionist painter and grandson of the famous Swedish painter Fritz von Dardel. In the early 1920s, Dardel created a number of works based upon stage sets, and these have been likened to sketches of drama or film. Dardel also created the stage sets for Midsummer Wake (music by Hugo Alfvén), and Maison de Fous (a dance drama with compositions by Viking Dahl). Together they had a daughter Ingrid von Dardel (1922–1962) who like her father became an artist. After living in Paris for three years, Dardel and Rolf de Maré became friends.
