The Art of Gustaf Tenggren

 

 

Gustaf Tenggren (1896-1970) is one of the artists associated with the Golden Age of Illustration.

 

The Gustaf Tenggren Collection at Spirit of the Ages includes art images from some of Tenggren's seminal work. As a valuable reference resource, options are also provided for purchasing a range of gifts, including reproduction prints, posters and greeting cards.

 

Tenggren's earliest published commissions were in Sweden and following Bauer's final work for Bland Tomtar Och Troll, Tenggren illustrated 10 volumes for that annual collection of tales (even following his emigration to the United States of America in 1920).

 

After settling in the United States, Tenggren received further commissions for illustrated books and worked for Walt Disney Studios throughout the 1930s (he was Art Director on

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and contributed to other productions including Bambi, The Ugly Duckling, Hiawatha and Fantasia).

Throughout his later career, he worked on his own publishing projects and with The Golden Press. It is through his work

for The Golden Press that he reached mass market popularity - with one of his illustrated books, The Poky Little Puppy

being the World's most printed.
