Bengt Anders Valter (Bengtolle) Oldinger, born November 3, 1911 in Åmål, died March 31, 1988 in Stockholm, was a Swedish teacher, painter and draftsman.
After training as an elementary school teacher at the Folkskoleseminariet in Karlstad and as an opera singer, he studied painting with Otte Sköld in Stockholm in 1937 and with André Lhote in Paris in 1947 and 1951[1]. He was a teacher in Mälarhöjden's school until 1949.
Primarily, Bengtolle Oldinger painted in oil and acrylic, but he was also a draftsman who captured people in motion with a few lines. In the reviews, his strong coloring[2], safe brushwork[3] and ability to compose images are often emphasized. The motifs were captured on painting trips in some sixty countries. He was particularly stimulated by encounters with folk life and nature in Egypt, Mexico and Japan, and he gladly returned to the autumn colors of the mountain world and to life on the square during the summers in Åmål.
Bengtolle is, among other things, represented in King Gustav VI Adolf's collections at the National Museum in Stockholm [4], the Tessin institute in Paris, the Norrköping Art Museum and the Härjedalen Museum.
In 1943 and 1950, solo exhibitions were held in Stockholm and Bengtolle also participated in group exhibitions in Spain in 1953 and 1954. Bengtolle Oldinger had a solo exhibition in 1958 at the Art Academy in Stockholm. After his first exhibition at Galleri Paul Ambroise in Paris in 1959, he changed his signature from Bengtolle to Oldinger. Bengtolle them participated in collective exhibitions in Paris in 1960 and 1967. In 1964 he was represented at the Art Suèdois contemporain exhibition in the Musée Galerie in Paris and in 1966 he was awarded a diploma at the Grand Prix International d'art contemporain de la Principauté de Monaco. He held a solo exhibition in 1967 at Gallery Paul Ambroise in Paris. In 1968, Åmål's art gallery was inaugurated with Bengtolle Oldinger's solo exhibition and he also had exhibitions at Galleri AE in Gothenburg and Galleri St Erik in Stockholm. In connection with the 70th anniversary in 1981, a retrospective exhibition was held in Åmål's art gallery.
In 2011, in connection with the 100th anniversary of his birth, exhibitions were held at Galleri Sander in Norrköping and at Galleri Kottla in Lidingö. Oldinger is buried at Skogskyrkogården in Stockholm[5].
