 Einar Jolin died on 29August 1976, and is buried at Norra Begravningsplatsen in Stockholm.Although influenced by Matisse, the Oriental art that Jolin discovered at Musée Guimet was even more important to his style.Chinese and Japanese art became the base for the decorative, slightly naïve style in light colours, that he developed during the 1910s and 1920s.
