Art nouveau från Larssons till Zappa: Art nouveau from the Larssons to Zappa / katalogredatör: Kristoffer Arvidsson; författare: Kristoffer Arvidsson, Birte Bruchmüller, Per Dahlström, Anna Hyltze
Abstract
Stylized sinuous plant motifs, curving decorative contours and swift whiplash lines are some of the stylistic traits associated with the Art Nouveau movement. In the fin-de-siècle epoch, artists, designers and architects looked to nature for inspiration as they sought a new idiom for a new era. The influence of Art Nouveau is evident in Karin Larsson's reform dresses, Carl Larsson's self-portrait in a red robe, and Gustaf Fjæstad's woven reflections of light in water. This is a previously often overlooked aspect of Swedish turn-of-the-century art, since the period has chiefly been defined by the term National Romanticism. The exhibition shows how Swedish art was inspired by Art Nouveau, but also follows paths of influence forward in time, to the underground posters of the 1960s and contemporary art.
