Albert Valentin Göransson (1915–1971) was a Swedish painter known for his refined still lifes, often featuring decanters, executed in oil and pastel. Born in Gothenburg, he was the son of Hanna Bäcklund and half-brother of painter Åke Göransson. After working in various trades, he turned to art in the late 1930s, studying at Valand’s Painting School in Gothenburg (1939–1941) and undertaking study trips to France and Italy. Göransson achieved his breakthrough in the mid-1940s and exhibited at Anonyma Salongen in Gothenburg in 1949, later holding solo shows at Olsen’s art salon. His work is characterized by a quiet, contemplative approach to everyday objects, balancing traditional still life motifs with modern sensibilities. Göransson is buried at Kviberg Cemetery in Gothenburg.
