Note: Esaias Thoren was part of one of many creative alliances that worked in a Surrealist style or grew out of Surrelaist idealogies in the 1930s. He worked with a group of Scandinavian artists who called themselves the Halmstad Group which loosely formed in Halmstad, Denmark around 1929. Other members of the group included Sven Johnson, Waldemar Lorentzon, brothers Axel and Erik Olson. Jonson and Thoren had lived together in Paris in 1926, where they came in contact with the creative explosion happening on the continent. Under this influence, the Halmstad Group worked in a Cubist style but were also influence by the post-Cubist movements, namely Purism and Concretism. In the mid-1930s, the Halmstad Group moved towards Surrealism, though several of them, including Esaias Thoren, would revisit post-Cubism later in their careers.
