A couple of references have come up to New York Times articles that are in the fee-based online archives section. You might want to see if your local library has the NYTimes database online, which accesses those articles for free. I just discovered that Seattle Public Library has a subscription that can be accessed remotely, online, and it is great for a research project I am doing right now on the 1950s and 1960s. You will need a library card number to access it—but you should have one anyway! J

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Swedish Portrait Artist Bror Kronstrand

I'm trying to find information and on Bror Kronstrand.  We have one of his portraits in our collection.  I can find auction prices and paintings, but no biographical information.  Any help can be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you,
