Karl Fredrik Nordström (1855-1923) was a Swedish painter who studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Art. 


During a sojourn in France he was inspired by artists like Paul Gauguin and by Japanese prints and other modernist trends.  


This experience led him and a few dozen of his contemporaries to write a formal letter to the Academy requesting that they modernize their approach to teaching and exhibiting art. 

The Academy didn't agree, but Nordström allied with like-thinking artists anyway.


Nordström's own paintings become more concerned with broken color, pointillism, and flat fields of color devoid of obvious subject matter.
