A Swedish Legacy
This book presents the most important examples of Swedish decorative and applied arts as seen through the collections of the Nationalmuseum Stockholm. It is the second in a series of three intended titles on the collections of Nationalmuseum Stockholm, the first of which focused on the museum's important collection of paintings and sculpture. Illustrated in color throughout, this latest addition to the Scala list charts the development of Swedish decorative and applied art from the Vasa 'Renaissance' period at the end of the 17th century, through Rococo and Gustavian Classicism of the 18th century, the Romanticism of the 19th century right up to the age of 'Scandinavian Design' in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Covers all aspects of the decorative and applied arts in Sweden, including pottery, porcelain and glass, furniture and clocks, silver and silver plate, tapestries, fabrics, textiles and plastics.
Swedish Folk Art
This volume celebrates the richness of folk art in Sweden, from traditional peasant art to modern design. It illustrates the many facets of Swedish style and culture, exploring the ways in which Sweden's traditional heritage and contemporary design and decorative arts are connected.
Nationalism and the Nordic Imagination
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Michelle Facos links the social and cultural dynamics in turn-of-the-century Sweden to the discourses of primitivism, nationalism, and symbolism. In the process, she sheds new light on a major area of study, the manifestation of modernism in Sweden. These painters - among them Carl Larsson, Anders Zorn, Bruno Liljefors, and Prince Eugen - sought to produce a specifically national Swedish art. They focused on indigenous history, legends, and folk tales as well as customs, values, geography, and ethnography - anything they perceived as uniquely or typically Swedish. Politically progressive and culturally conservative, the National Romantic artists protested against the dangers they perceived in capitalist industrialism and urban expansion and promoted an egalitarian ideology centered on the Swedish/Nordic native culture.
The Decorative Arts of Sweden
Ironware, textiles, pottery, glass, furniture, wood, rosemaling, folk art from 12th century to present, much modern design. 406 photographs.
Modern Swedish Design
Although Swedish design has exercised an extraordinary influence on modern architecture and interior furnishings internationally since the early twentieth century, the intellectual background from which it emerged is far less wellknown, for some of the crucial, generative writings on the subject by Swedish thinkers of the time have never been widely translated. Modern Swedish Design Theory collects three of these seminal essays for the first time in English. Accompanying these texts in the book are introductory essays and a postscript by the renowned architectural historian Kenneth Frampton.
