Life
Callmander, son of the pastor and painter Carl Jacob Callmander (1814–1864) and his wife Sofia Amalia Matilda Schmidt, moved to Stockholm after graduating from high school , where he was apprenticed to the decorative painter Fredrik Liljeblad (1833–1909) from 1860 to 1861 . In the school year 1861/1862 he attended the Düsseldorf Art Academy , where Andreas Müller and Ludwig Heitland were his teachers. By means of a royal scholarship given to him by Charles XV. and whose mother, Queen Josephine , had been granted, he studied from 1862 to 1865 at the Antwerp Art Academy and in Paris . In 1873 he went to Antwerp again. In 1875 he enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Munich , where he studied until 1877.
After a stay in Skåne , he settled in Gothenburg in 1877, where he was one of the founders of the Gnistan artists' society in 1878 and was the art society's curator and secretary until 1888. There he also became a teacher of drawing and ornament painting at the applied arts school in 1881 . In 1884 he was one of the initiators of a reorganization of the Valand Art School . He earned a reputation as an illustrator and caricaturist under the stage name Callmus . For the Gothenburg art collector and patron Pontus Fürstenberg (1827–1902) he designed a ceiling in his Palacehuset with the motif Amor and Psyche as a decorative painter . In later years he specialized in stained glass, which he carried out for Uppsala Cathedral and the Oscar Fredriks Church in Gothenburg, as well as a large number of other places of worship. He developed a glass painting workshop, which he took over in 1888, into the leading company of its kind in Sweden. Charlotta Amalia Maria Lincke (1852–1908), his first wife, with whom he was married from 1879 to 1908, gave birth to the future architect Ivar Callmander (1880–1951).
