…. It’s a lot about night, about darkness and loneliness, something omitted. A lonely car, an empty gas station, a lonely island, a lonely man in a telephone booth, a road with some kind of accident. Of the property left by the artist it has become a very, very nice exhibition. And when you look in the richly illustrated catalog and you see all the paintings that are not displayed, it is easy to realize that it would have been possible to create three more exhibitions almost as good. In the very nice and well-made catalog, Jan Håfström also writes a moving text about his view of Jan Liljeqvist’s art and tries to find different comparisons …..

It rushes towards us from the walls, fiery, dark, romantic, as if the color tubes were grenades. It’s about fifty pieces by a great expressionist which we can now experience. …. These paintings are nowhere else to be found. It’s new. Something important has occurred. Shaken, I leave the room.
