Harry Linder was born in Helsinki, Finland in 1886. At age 31, he came to California and settled in Long Beach. He exhibited his works with other local artists, including his good friend and fellow painter, Guy Rose. He also is known to have a one-man exhibition in Chicago in 1927.

He established his studio and gallery in Long Beach, selling his own paintings and those of his artist friends, including Guy Rose. He is well known for his masterful pastels.

The painting to the left is from our gallery collection. It is unsigned and unattributed, but on the stretcher, it has a paper label bearing the name of Linder's Art Shop.

Apart from its highly skilled painterly qualities, this "Linder's Art Shop" label is the only clue we have to this painting's attribuion. We believe it may have been done by one of Harry Linder's artist friends who frequented Harry's Studio and Art Shop in Long Beach.
