Liss Eriksson

Liss Eriksson (31 August 1919 – 19 July 2000) was a Swedish sculptor.

Life

The son of the sculptor Christian Eriksson (1858–1935), Liss Eriksson grew up on Maria Prästgårdsgatan on Södermalm in southern-central Stockholm. Following his studies at the College of Fine Arts for Nils Sjögren and Eric Grate in 1939–1944, Liss participated in the pioneering exhibition Ung Konst in 1947, before spending five years in Paris together with his wife, the artist Britta Reich-Eriksson, to study for Jean Osouf and Henri Laurens. He returned to Stockholm in 1951, in 1975 succeeding the studio of his father previously used by Sven 'X:et' Erixson (1899–1970). During his last years, he was working on a retable for the church Katarina Church, near his home.{{cite web
