artist biography
Gustaf Per Arvor Börtner Zandt was born 8 May, 1905 in Hedvig, Stockholm. He was a Swedish artist and tailor.

Börtner first worked as a tailor in Stockholm. He set off on a long trip to Europe in 1930 visiting Germany, the Baltic States and Helsinki, and when he returned to Stockholm he was seriously ill. In the hospital he met a medical assistant who became his wife, she later inspired him to become an artist. Börtner studied art with Folmer Bonnén in Copenhagen from from 1933 to 1935 and with Isaac Grünewald in Stockholm. Hw took private study trips to Italy, France and Norway. 

He showed his work in solo and group exhibitions. He exhibited at Olsen´s konsthandelvvv in Gothenburg in 1944 and participated in several December exhibitions at Gothenburg's konsthall. Alongside Sixten Ström and Clarence Blum, he exhibited in Kristianstad's Art Association in 1945.

Börtner is known for his landscapes from Sweden’s west coast and paintings with social scenes. In addition to his fine art, he worked for a time teaching art at Valands konstskola (Art School) and later in Sollefteå where he worked as a music and drawing teacher. In the early 1930s he signed his work Zandt, with some works signed Andersson-Zandt. In the n the late 1940s he began signing his work Börtner, which is then continued through his career.
