artist biography
Carl Birger Strååt was born on February 22, 1914 in Norrköping. He was a Swedish artist, print maker, illustrator and musician.

Strååt initially studied to be an engineer between 1928 and 1931 at the Norrköpings Tekniska Skola. He then studied music for 10 years and was an alto violinist at the Norrköping Orchestra Association in 1934 and 1935, but in the 1940's chose to devote himself entirely to painting. His love of painting and drawing began when he was young and he was primarily self taught as an artist. He took independent art study trips to France and the Netherlands. He was awarded the Östgöta Art Association's scholarship in 1940 and 1942 and Folkbladet Östgöten's Cultural Scholarship in 1966. He was part of a group of artists that gathered around painter and sculptor Albert Sjöström - other members of the group included Carl Delden, Harry Carlsson, and Gustav Adolf Fahle. The group was deeply connected with the Norrköping and its landscape, and Strååt interpreted the area with his finely tuned low-key light colour scale. Over the years, he created views from the city and the surrounding landscape, with an emphasis on Kolmården and Bråviken's waters. Stylistically, he worked primarily in an abstract simplified style, but for a period also in a more purely tight geometric forms. In addition he painted still life works and street scenes.

Strååt had solo exhibitions at Gummesons konsthall in Stockholm, and at galleries in Katrineholm, Borås, Norrköping and Linköping. He had shows alongside Arvid Knöppel in Linköping in 1944, with Carl Delden and Pär Thorell in Finspång in 1959,  and with Harry Carlsson and Vidar Forsberg in Byske in 1965. Beginning in the mid-1940s he has participated in Östgöta konstförening group exhibitions in Östergötland and in the Sveriges allmänna konstförenings (Swedish General Art Association) exhibitions at Liljevalchs konsthall. 

Strååt is represented a number of the permanent collections in Sweden including works at the Norrköping Art Museum and the Östergötland Museum.

He passed away on October 1, 2008 at the age of 94.

Perfect for travel... very comfortable!
These things are amazing! I bought these a couple weeks before a trip to Italy and had planned on doing a lot of walking in them. I only got to wear them a couple times before we went on our trip, but no blisters, even during LOTS of walking in them on the trip! They wore in super quickly while still keeping their durability. My feet stay dry even in lots of rain. The photos show the wear on them after a few months, including a couple weeks of travel, and weeks of wear around town. My only complaint is that there is a tiny something (a little knot of thread with glue? not sure...) that is at the top of the opening of the boot, and it rubs the back of my ankle and makes a sore. That isn't enough to make me not wear them though. There's a photo that shows this. As you can see it's super tiny, and probably not even a flaw, it just hits my ankle *just* right so that it rubs.

These shoes were perfect! Cute design
Spent more than I typically would on shoes to get a quality pair for a trip. Needed a dependable shoe that would be waterproof for hiking and exploring the often wet climate and terrain. These shoes were perfect! Cute design. Very comfortable. Fit as expected. Kept my feet warm and dry. Good for hiking as well as walking the streets of the little towns we explored. I'm glad I invested in these boots!

Chic Comfort
I really enjoy these boots. Excellent for wet muddy city streets! The slip on version are a bit narrow when it comes to putting them on. I wear a size 8 and ordered 8.5 for extra room , but they were too long. I think if you have wide feet these may not be too comfortable. Overall a good leather shoe. No water sipped through while wearing.

Need breaking in, but awesome quality
I was a little worried when I first got these- my feet are a little wider than normal, but not wide enough to need wide width. They were quite snug the first few times I wore them, but after some breaking in they fit PERFECT. I did have to go up a half size from my normal 7 to a 7.5, but these boots are fantastic and I can tell I have them for a long time!

Get these! You won't regret it!
These are my go-to winter shoes! They are waterproof- I love them bc they don't look like your typical "rainboots"! Stylish- I get compliments everytime I wear them! Comfortable- first time I wore them they were tight through the middle of my foot, but after two wears I had them nice and broke in, now my most comfortable shoes!
