10 STORIES
2.6.2007 - 9.9.2007
In the first decades of the 20th century, many Swedish artists went abroad to explore the formal idiom of abstract art. Most of these artists, however, reverted fairly soon to the narrative tradition. This exhibition looks at some ten “Stories”, themes such as meetings between human beings, cultures, ways of life and political opinions. The featured artists include Ivan Aguéli, Nils von Dardel, Siri Derkert, Sven X-et Erixon, Sigrid Hjertén.
The exhibition 10 Stories highlights the strong narrative strain in Swedish art in the first half of the 1900s. As we approach the inter-war period, highlighting the epic, many women artists step into the foreground, influencing the selection of the ten different themes on which the exhibition is based.
