Ivan Ivarson studied for Thu Bjurström of Fine Arts in Gothenburg. He undertook study tours to France and Italy. He was inspired by Pierre Bonnard painting. He painted landscapes, with figures, and harbor views, but the favorite motifs were particularly flowers. Coloring was bold, fast brushwork with blurred contours often dissolved, naive expressionist. He belonged to Gothenburg Schools colourists. Represented: National Museum in Stockholm, Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Gothenburg Art Museum and Museum of Gävle.

Ivan Ivarson ingick i den grupp som kallas Göteborgskoloristerna och var som sådan en utpräglad färgromantiker. Han började på Valands konstskola i Göteborg 1922, där han studerade under Tor Bjurströms ledning. På elevutställningen 1927 väckte hans bidrag intresse, såväl bland kritikerna som i kamratkretsen. Samma år reste han till Frankrike och Italien. Under resan förändrades Ivarsons måleri, koloriten ljusnade och det var som om Medelhavets vatten och den sydländska luften sköljde över hans måleri. När han 1928 gifte sig med konstnärskollegan Märta Taube inleddes den kanske lyckligaste och mest produktiva tiden i hans liv. Märta och sonen Per förekommer på en mängd lysande dukar med motiv från vardagslivet på Stenungsön, där den lilla familjen bodde vid trettiotalets ingång. Ungefär samtidigt blir den djupt ultramarinblå färgen, den som kallats Ivarsonblått, ofta förekommande, särskilt i kombination med rött, grönt och gult. Det var under den här perioden han fällde de ofta citerade orden att han önskade att han kunde äta färg. Särskilt framträdande blir Ivarsons färgfrosseri i hans prunkande blomsterstilleben. Men Ivarsons familjelycka blev kort. Redan 1932 skildes paret och Ivarson flyttade till Göteborg. Där målade han mest stadsmotiv. Sina sista år tillbringade han i Frankrike i förhoppning att det milda klimatet skulle förbättra hans vacklande hälsa. Han avled i Paris endast 39 år gammal.
