In 1949 he met the Dutch Karel Appel , Constant and Corneille , who were members of the CoBrA movement. There was a short collaboration. In 1965 Svanberg was awarded the Prince Eugen Medal for Painting.
“Max Walter Syanberg (born 1912), who is also one of those who maintain contacts with the CoBrA group , remains a surrealist at heart. In a meticulously ornamental style, Svanberg creates a stage with fantastic dream visions on which improbable female figures compete against indescribable monsters. "
