Jürgen Von Konow lived from 1915 to 1959. He was a Swedish painter and graphic artist. He studied in Stockholm and Paris. In 1958, Von Konow published his own handbook on graphic techniques in Sweden, Om grafik: Historia och Teknik (On Graphics: History and Technique). His book made a significant contribution to the teaching of graphic design and graphic art in Sweden. His first exhibition was held in Stockholm in 1938 at Galleri Gummesons. Konow’s works are held in numerous public collections, including Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet and Waldemarsudde in Stockholm, Vänersborg Museum, Gothenburg Museum of Art, Stockholm City Museum, Norrköping Museum of Art, Linköping Museum, the National Gallery in Oslo, KODE: Bergen Art Museum, Ateneum in Helsinki and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
